It measures 0.125 inches thick, 10 inches wide, and 36 inches long, and weighs 14.66 pounds. The stock is produced to AISI A2 specification, a cold-work tool steel known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and its balance of wear resistance and toughness. Thickness tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, making this suitable for applications where close finished dimensions are critical from the start of machining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is used in tool and die shops, maintenance and repair operations, and precision manufacturing environments. It is a common starting material for blanking dies, form tools, gauges, and similar hardened-steel components. The 10-inch width and 36-inch length provide substantial material for larger tooling blanks or multiple smaller pieces cut from a single bar. It is typically handled by tool and die makers or skilled machinists working in job shops or in-house toolrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel for consistent dimensional stability during heat treat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for tight as-received fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength tolerance of plus 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquareness held to 0.003 inches per inch on all edges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquare tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard AISI A2 air-hardening tool steel flat stock suitable for general tool and die, punch, gauge, and fixture fabrication applications requiring cold-work tool steel raw material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate coolant and tooling rated for hardened or pre-hardened steel. Heat treatment of A2 tool steel should follow established AISI guidelines for austenitizing temperature, quench method, and tempering cycles. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding tool steel. Verify final dimensions after any thermal processing, as some dimensional change may occur.\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 A2 Air-Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.125 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 inches\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: plus 0.000 to 0.015 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 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: 14.66 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: 57323\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539196346674,"sku":"57323","price":729.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dd4885fbdd426ecb0fa6c3cc24fba2db_eea03bf6-5f88-4874-a3cb-2da237079af8.jpg?v=1785836456","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-57323-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock-0-125x10x36-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
