Value Collection 06000624 O-1 Tool Steel Drill Rod 31/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06000624 is an O-1 oil hardening tool steel drill rod used in toolmaking, machining, and custom tooling applications. Measuring 0.969 inches (31/32 inch) in diameter and 36 inches in length, this rod is manufactured from O-1 grade tool steel, which is known for its consistent hardness after oil quenching and its good dimensional stability. Machinists, tool and die makers, and skilled fabricators use drill rod in this grade to produce punches, dies, reamers, and other precision ground tooling components. The round stock arrives in an annealed state suitable for machining before heat treatment.

This drill rod is a standard offering for job shops, toolrooms, and maintenance facilities that fabricate their own tooling in-house. The 36-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple short blanks or a single long workpiece. O-1 grade is selected when the application demands a reliable oil-hardening steel with moderate alloy content, good wear resistance after hardening, and predictable heat treat response. It is appropriate for low-to-medium production tooling where high-speed or air-hardening grades are not required.

Key Features

• O-1 oil hardening grade tool steel with predictable heat treat response
• 0.969 inch (31/32 inch) diameter precision ground round stock
• 36 inch overall length suitable for single or multiple blank cuts
• Annealed condition allows machining prior to hardening
• Consistent diameter for use as drill rod, punch blanks, or custom tooling stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O-1 tool steel drill rod for use in toolroom, job shop, and maintenance machining applications requiring oil hardening round stock in a 31/32 inch diameter.

Installation Notes

This material is machined, ground, and heat treated by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate metalworking equipment. Follow established heat treating procedures for O-1 tool steel, including proper preheat and oil quench steps, to achieve target hardness without cracking. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting, grinding, or heat treating. Consult material safety and heat treat references specific to O-1 grade before processing.
