A2 tool steel is a versatile, oil-free air-hardening grade known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and good wear resistance, making it a standard choice for dies, punches, gauges, and precision tooling components. This bar ships in a ground, precision-tolerance condition with a thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inch, a width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch, a length tolerance of plus 0.25 inch, and a squareness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inch. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians working with precision tooling stock will find this bar ready for layout, machining, and subsequent heat treat operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis flat stock is suited for fabrication of cutting tools, fixture components, jigs, mold components, and wear parts in both job-shop and production tooling environments. The 36-inch length allows multiple blanks to be cut from a single bar, reducing material waste on small-run tooling projects. The ground finish and tight tolerances minimize pre-machining stock removal. This bar is appropriate wherever A2 grade is specified by design or where an air-hardening steel is preferred over oil-hardening grades for reduced distortion risk during hardening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAISI A2 air-hardening tool steel grade for stable, low-distortion heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inch for precise fit in tooling applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSquareness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inch with edge squareness of 0.003 per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36-inch bar length with a plus 0.25 inch length tolerance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGround flat stock condition minimizes pre-machining setup time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard A2 air-hardening tool steel flat bar suitable for use in die-making, punch fabrication, gauging, and general precision tooling applications where AISI A2 material specification is required.\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 tooling for hardened or semi-hardened steel as applicable. When heat treating A2 tool steel, follow the material manufacturer's published hardening and tempering guidelines and use proper personal protective equipment. Allow the bar to reach ambient temperature before precision measurement after any grinding or thermal operation. Deburr all edges after cutting to prevent handling injury and to ensure accurate fixturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tool Steel, AISI A2 Air-Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\/32 inches (0.15625 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch (0.500 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 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.25 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSquare Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus or minus 0.001 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdge Squareness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.003 per inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.91 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: 57325\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51544496701746,"sku":"57325","price":130.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/dd4885fbdd426ecb0fa6c3cc24fba2db_74355552-f042-4119-a6d3-91639725a2f0.jpg?v=1785928112","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-57325-a2-tool-steel-flat-stock-5-32x1-2x36-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
