Measuring 0.25 inches high, 0.5 inches wide, and 36 inches long, this piece ships in a mill finish and can be cut to length on site. W-1 tool steel offers good machinability and responds well to water quenching for applications that require a hardened key after fitting. Machinists, maintenance technicians, and industrial mechanics routinely stock this material for drive-component repair and assembly work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis key stock is suited for light to medium-duty power transmission applications in both industrial and commercial maintenance settings. Typical uses include keying sheaves, sprockets, couplings, and similar rotating components onto shafts where a square or rectangular key seat has been machined. The 36-inch bar length allows a single piece to yield multiple finished keys depending on hub width requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eW-1 water hardening tool steel construction for improved wear resistance after heat treatment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.25 inches high by 0.5 inches wide cross section fits standard keyway cuts for this size range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36-inch bar length allows multiple keys to be cut from one piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMill finish provides a clean, uncoated surface ready for machining or direct use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsistent rectangular profile simplifies fitting and reduces hand-fitting time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard-dimension replacement or stock key material for power transmission assemblies requiring a 0.25 inch by 0.5 inch rectangular key in W-1 tool steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey stock installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics familiar with shaft and hub keyway tolerances. Always de-energize and lock out the drive system before removing or installing any key. Cut the bar to the required length using a bandsaw or cold saw, then deburr all edges before fitting. Verify keyway depth and width against the key dimensions before final assembly to ensure proper seating and torque transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: W-1 Water Hardening Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.28 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31163208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 06060644\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51715677978930,"sku":"06060644","price":80.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/7426f8488c797cd400bd6d7f9c9b70f0.jpg?v=1788517108","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-06060644-key-stock-tool-steel-36-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
