Value Collection 06001200 O-1 Tool Steel Drill Rod 1-5/16 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06001200 is an O-1 oil hardening tool steel drill rod measuring 1-5/16 inches (1.313 inches decimal) in diameter and 36 inches in overall length. O-1 grade tool steel is a general-purpose oil hardening steel widely used in toolmaking, die work, and precision machining applications. This drill rod stock is supplied in the annealed condition, making it machinable before hardening. At 13.8 pounds, it provides substantial stock for toolmakers, machinists, and metalworking shops that require tight-tolerance round bar stock for fabricating punches, broaches, gauges, and similar tooling components.

This drill rod is suited for tool and die shops, maintenance machining departments, and metalworking operations that require reliable O-1 tool steel in larger diameter stock. The 1-5/16 inch diameter is commonly specified for heavier punches, mandrels, arbors, and custom tooling where post-machining heat treatment will achieve final hardness. It is appropriate for both job shop and production environments where dimensional consistency and material grade traceability matter.

Key Features

• O-1 oil hardening tool steel grade for predictable hardening response
• 1-5/16 inch (1.313 inch decimal) diameter provides heavy stock for large-diameter tooling
• 36 inch overall length offers adequate stock for multiple shorter workpieces
• Supplied in machinable annealed condition prior to heat treatment
• UNSPSC Code 20102105 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O-1 oil hardening tool steel drill rod suitable for conventional manual and CNC machining operations followed by oil quench heat treatment.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel rod should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate tooling rated for hardened or semi-hardened steel. Secure the workpiece firmly in a lathe chuck or milling vise before cutting to prevent movement. Heat treatment to final hardness should be performed by a qualified heat treater following O-1 steel hardening procedures. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting steel bar stock.
