Value Collection 06095400 S-7 Tool Steel Drill Rod 5/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 06095400 is an S-7 tool steel drill rod ground to a 5/8-inch diameter and cut to a 36-inch length. S-7 is an air-hardening, shock-resistant tool steel formulated to handle high-impact applications where toughness and edge retention are both required. At 3.13 pounds, this rod is sized for use in machine shops, toolrooms, and fabrication environments where machinists and toolmakers need reliable raw stock for punches, chisels, drivers, and custom tooling. The air-hardening characteristic of S-7 reduces distortion during heat treatment compared to oil-hardening grades.

This drill rod is suited for toolroom and industrial fabrication use where a tough, impact-resistant steel is needed over harder but more brittle grades. Typical applications include the manufacture of punches, stamps, chisels, rivet sets, and pneumatic tool components. The 36-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple parts per bar depending on finished-part length. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and metalworking fabricators are the primary users of this stock.

• Ships as a single-bar unit (package quantity of 1)

Compatibility

Designed as standard S-7 air-hardening tool steel drill rod stock compatible with conventional machining, grinding, and heat-treat processes used in toolroom and die-shop environments.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel rod should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate coolant and tooling rated for hardened or pre-hardened steels. Prior to heat treatment, consult the material specification for S-7 to confirm austenitizing temperature range and air-quench procedure. Personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves is required when cutting or grinding. Follow applicable shop safety codes and equipment manufacturer guidelines throughout fabrication.
