Measuring 1\/16 inch high by 1\/16 inch wide by 36 inches long, this bar is machined from W-1 water-hardening tool steel, a grade known for good machinability in its annealed state and the ability to achieve high surface hardness after heat treatment. It is a standard raw-stock form that machinists and maintenance technicians cut, fit, and finish to length at the point of installation. Applications include small-diameter shaft and hub assemblies where positive rotational drive is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis key stock is suited for light-duty shaft keyway applications in industrial machinery, pump drives, conveyor systems, and general mechanical assemblies. The 36-inch bar length provides enough stock to yield multiple finished keys from a single piece, reducing waste in shops that service a range of small shaft diameters. W-1 tool steel is a common choice when the finished key will be heat treated in-house to increase wear resistance before final fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSquare cross-section: 1\/16 inch high by 1\/16 inch wide for consistent keyway fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36-inch bar length provides multiple cuts from a single piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eW-1 water-hardening tool steel grade supports in-shop heat treatment for added surface hardness\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGood machinability in annealed condition for precise length and profile trimming\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUNSPSC Code 31163208 for procurement and catalog classification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard raw-stock key bar for use in any keyway application requiring a 1\/16-inch square cross-section key cut to a custom length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey stock installation is typically performed by machinists or maintenance mechanics. Cut the bar to required key length using a bandsaw, hacksaw, or milling machine, then deburr all edges before fitting. Ensure the mating shaft keyway and hub keyway dimensions are clean and within tolerance before seating the key. If heat treatment is planned, follow W-1 steel quenching procedures appropriate to the application before final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 1\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.04 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31163208\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\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: 06061048\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695782330674,"sku":"06061048","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d91faf9cb16a571e1691641f87cfd264.jpg?v=1788338194","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-06061048-key-stock-tool-steel-w-1","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
