Measuring 3\/32 inch thick, 1-1\/2 inches wide, and 36 inches long, this flat stock is manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances, making it suitable for applications where consistent size and squareness are critical. The material conforms to AISI Type A2 specification, a cold-work tool steel known for its good dimensional stability during heat treatment. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and metalworking professionals use this stock to fabricate punches, dies, gauges, and similar precision components. It ships at approximately 1.65 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for job shop and production toolroom environments where reliable stock dimensions reduce setup time and rework. AISI A2 tool steel air-hardens, meaning it requires less quenching severity than oil-hardening grades, which reduces distortion risk on finished workpieces. The 36-inch length provides sufficient material for a range of small-to-medium tooling projects. It is commonly used in both low-volume prototype work and higher-run die and fixture fabrication. Trade professionals working in precision metalworking, manufacturing maintenance, and industrial toolmaking will find this stock appropriate for demanding dimensional requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAISI Type A2 air-hardening tool steel for good dimensional stability during hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precise fit in tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquareness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches, with edge squareness of 0.003 per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReady-to-use 36-inch bar length suitable for a wide range of machined components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard A2 air-hardening tool steel flat bar for general toolroom and die-making use.
