Value Collection 06095061 S-7 Tool Steel Drill Rod 3/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06095061 is an S-7 tool steel drill rod ground to a 3/32 inch diameter and cut to 36 inches in length. S-7 is an air-hardening, shock-resistant tool steel well suited for applications where impact toughness is a priority. Drill rod stock in this grade is used by machinists, toolmakers, and die makers to fabricate punches, pins, drivers, and custom tooling. The stock ships in an annealed condition and can be heat treated by a qualified tool and die shop or heat treatment facility to reach working hardness.

This drill rod is appropriate for machine shops, toolrooms, and maintenance departments that fabricate their own tooling components. The 3/32 inch diameter makes it suitable for small punches, ejector pins, pilot pins, and similar precision tool components. The 36 inch length allows multiple blanks to be cut from a single piece, reducing stock waste. S-7 material is a common choice when tooling will be subjected to repeated impact loading or shock conditions.

Key Features

• S-7 grade tool steel with high shock resistance and air-hardening capability
• 3/32 inch diameter ground stock for consistent dimensional accuracy
• 36 inch overall length allows multiple blanks from a single piece
• Annealed condition for machining prior to heat treatment
• Suitable for punches, pins, drivers, and precision tooling blanks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose tool steel drill rod blank for use in toolrooms and machine shops requiring S-7 grade air-hardening stock in small diameter sizes.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining should be performed with appropriate metalworking tools; carbide or high-speed steel tooling is recommended for S-7 material. Secure the workpiece properly before cutting to length to prevent movement and injury. Heat treatment to working hardness should be performed by qualified personnel following the material manufacturer's recommended thermal cycle for S-7 tool steel. Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting, grinding, or machining tool steel stock.
