Machined from W-1 water-hardening tool steel, this key stock measures 5\/16 inches high by 5\/16 inches wide by 36 inches long, giving machinists and maintenance technicians a full-length bar that can be cut to the exact key length required. W-1 tool steel offers good surface hardness after heat treatment while maintaining a tough core, making it a dependable choice for general-purpose keyed connections in industrial and commercial machinery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis key stock is suited for use in gearboxes, conveyor drives, pump assemblies, and other shaft-to-hub applications where positive torque transfer is required.
