It measures 3\/8 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 36 inches long, and weighs 3.82 pounds. Manufactured to AISI Type O1 Oil Hardening specification, this flat stock holds tight dimensional tolerances: thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches, width tolerance of minus 0 to minus 0.005 inches, and length tolerance of plus 0.015 inches. Edge squareness is held to 0.003 inches per inch. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators select O1 flat stock when they need a material that machines cleanly in the annealed state and hardens predictably with an oil quench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eO1 tool steel flat stock is a standard material for making punches, dies, gauges, cutting tools, and fixture components in both job shop and production environments. This bar arrives in the annealed (soft) condition, making it suitable for milling, drilling, grinding, and EDM operations before heat treatment. It is well suited for low-to-medium production tooling where dimensional stability after hardening is a priority. Tool and die makers working in metal fabrication, stamping, and precision machining shops commonly stock this size for general-purpose tooling work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI Type O1 Oil Hardening tool steel — machines cleanly in annealed state and responds consistently to oil-quench heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precise stock removal planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of minus 0 to minus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge squareness held to 0.003 inches per inch across all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady for milling, grinding, drilling, and EDM in the as-supplied annealed condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat bar for general toolmaking, die making, and precision fabrication applications requiring AISI Type O1 material specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eO1 tool steel flat stock is machined and heat treated by tool and die makers and precision machinists. All cutting, grinding, and drilling operations should be completed in the annealed state prior to hardening. Heat treatment involving oil quenching should be performed by qualified personnel following established metallurgical procedures and applicable shop safety protocols. Personal protective equipment appropriate for hot work is required during any heat-treat operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: AISI Type O1 Oil Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: minus 0 to minus 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 inches per inch on all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.82 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31231200\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 54409\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544668307762,"sku":"54409","price":223.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/6555d28ffd7e02d6cc316d25961d7428_c43fd415-7ccd-49c0-bfd2-f06f0605e6dd.jpg?v=1785933090","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-54409-o1-tool-steel-flat-stock-3-8x1x36-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
