Manufactured to AISI Type O1 material specification, this flat stock is suited for toolmakers, machinists, and die makers who require a precision-ground, heat-treatable steel blank ready for further machining or direct use. Thickness tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, and squareness is maintained to 0.003 inches per inch on all edges, making it suitable for precision tooling applications where dimensional consistency is critical. The bar weighs approximately 22.94 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock is commonly used in industrial and commercial machine shops for fabricating punches, dies, jigs, fixtures, gauges, and other precision tooling components. This bar is appropriate for applications where the stock will be rough-machined to near-final dimensions and then oil-quench hardened to achieve the desired surface hardness and wear resistance. The 36-inch length provides sufficient material for multiple smaller blanks or a single long tool form, and the 6-inch width accommodates wide die plates or large flat tooling components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel material specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for consistent stock removal planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.015 inches, ensuring full nominal length delivery\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of 0.000 to minus 0.005 inches for predictable fit in precision fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquareness held to 0.003 inches per inch on all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReady for oil-quench hardening after machining to final form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock blank suitable for machining, grinding, and heat treating in toolroom and die shop applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers using appropriate metalworking equipment. Always secure the workpiece properly before cutting operations.
