Drill rod stock in A-2 tool steel is used by machinists, toolmakers, and die makers to fabricate punches, dies, gauges, and precision tooling. A-2 is an air hardening alloy, meaning it achieves full hardness through a controlled air cool from austenitizing temperature, which reduces distortion compared to oil or water hardening grades. This rod weighs approximately 6.1 pounds and is sold as a single piece. It is a general-purpose ground stock suitable for milling, turning, or grinding to final dimensions before heat treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis drill rod is suited for tool and die shops, maintenance shops, and job shops that fabricate custom tooling in-house. Typical applications include blanking punches, forming dies, drill bushings, locating pins, and arbors. The 36 inch length provides enough stock for multiple short workpieces cut from a single bar. A-2 tool steel in this diameter range is commonly specified wherever moderate wear resistance, good toughness, and minimal distortion during hardening are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA-2 air hardening tool steel for reduced distortion during heat treatment compared to water or oil hardening grades\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.875 inch (7\/8 inch) diameter ground rod stock ready for machining to final dimensions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e36 inch overall length provides flexible cut-to-length capability for multiple tooling blanks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece quantity suitable for low-volume toolmaking and prototype work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeighs 6.1 pounds, making it easy to handle on the lathe or surface grinder without auxiliary support fixtures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard ground drill rod blank for use in general tool and die fabrication applications requiring A-2 air hardening tool steel stock at 0.875 inch diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachining of tool steel drill rod should be performed by a qualified machinist or toolmaker using appropriate cutting tools rated for alloy steel. Secure the workpiece firmly in a lathe chuck or vise before cutting operations. Heat treatment to final hardness should be performed in a controlled atmosphere furnace or by a qualified heat treater following the appropriate austenitizing and air cooling procedure for A-2 steel. Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting, grinding, or handling steel stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrade\u003c\/strong\u003e: A-2 Air Hardening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.875 inches (7\/8 inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6.1 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 piece\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: 06090567\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51698112889138,"sku":"06090567","price":119.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/88145734b564b2d6aec5b951a1b414ad.jpg?v=1788357885","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-06090567-a-2-tool-steel-drill-rod-7-8-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
