Value Collection 06095244 S-7 Tool Steel Drill Rod

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06095244 is an S-7 air-hardening tool steel drill rod sized at 3/8 inches in diameter and 36 inches in length. S-7 is a shock-resistant tool steel alloy well suited for applications that demand high impact toughness alongside moderate wear resistance. Drill rod stock is furnished in the annealed condition, making it machinable before heat treatment. Machinists, toolmakers, and die makers use this material to fabricate punches, chisels, driver bits, and similar tooling. At 1.13 pounds, the rod is manageable as a single-piece stock length.

This drill rod is appropriate for machine shops, tool and die operations, and maintenance departments that require a readily available stock of S-7 tool steel. Typical applications include the production of impact tooling, forming dies, and wear parts where air-hardening capability reduces distortion risk during heat treat. The 36-inch length provides adequate stock for multiple short blanks or a single longer workpiece depending on the finished part requirements.

Key Features

• S-7 shock-resistant, air-hardening tool steel for high-impact tooling applications
• 3/8 inches diameter provides a common intermediate size for punch and driver fabrication
• 36 inches overall length yields usable stock for multiple blanks
• Air-hardening grade minimizes distortion and cracking risk during heat treatment
• Supplied in annealed condition for machining prior to hardening

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose S-7 tool steel drill rod for use wherever ASTM or equivalent shock-resistant air-hardening tool steel round stock is specified in machining and toolmaking applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of tool steel drill rod should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate cutting tools and speeds for hardened or annealed tool steel stock. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering of S-7 steel, should be carried out by personnel familiar with tool steel metallurgy and proper furnace procedures. Follow applicable shop safety practices when cutting, grinding, or heat treating this material. Personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection is required during all fabrication operations.
