Value Collection 07990344 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 07990344 is a D2 tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die making, and precision machining applications. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel known for its excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability after heat treatment. This piece measures 18 inches in length, 1-1/4 inches in width, and 3/4 inches in thickness, with tight tolerances held across all three dimensions. At 4.84 pounds, it is a solid, ready-to-machine blank suited for fabricating punches, dies, cutting tools, and wear plates in a shop environment.

This flat stock is intended for use by machinists, tool and die makers, and industrial fabricators who require a reliable D2 grade blank for cutting tool or die component production. The 18-inch length provides adequate material for most standard die or tooling layouts. D2 tool steel is commonly selected where high abrasion resistance is needed without the distortion risk associated with lower-alloy steels. This piece ships as a single unit and is suitable for both prototype and production tooling applications.

Key Features

• D2 high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel for superior wear resistance
• Length tolerance of +0.125 inches for consistent stock sizing
• Width tolerance of +0.005 inches for precise fitment in close-clearance applications
• Thickness tolerance of 0.001 inches for tight dimensional control
• Square tolerance of 0.001 inches ensures perpendicularity across faces
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as a standard D2 tool steel flat stock blank suitable for use in tool and die applications where AISI D2 grade material is specified.

Installation Notes

Machining and grinding of D2 tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate cutting tools rated for high-alloy tool steels. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering, should follow AISI D2 specifications and be performed by a qualified heat treat facility. Wear appropriate PPE when cutting, grinding, or handling sharp-edged stock. Secure the workpiece firmly before any machining operation to prevent movement.
