Value Collection 10005 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10005 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar intended for toolmakers, machinists, and metalworking professionals who need a reliable, dimensionally consistent blank for cutting tools, punches, dies, and gauges. This flat bar measures 3 mm thick, 15 mm wide, and 1000 mm long, with a thickness tolerance of plus 0.05 mm, a width tolerance of plus 0.2 mm, and a length tolerance of plus 0.5 mm to 0.8 mm. O1 tool steel offers good wear resistance and responds well to oil-quench hardening, making it a practical choice for shop fabrication and tooling work.

This flat stock is suited for machine shops, tool-and-die operations, and maintenance departments that fabricate or replace small cutting tools and fixtures. The 1000 mm length provides enough stock to cut multiple blanks for punches, blades, scribers, or reamers. It is sold as a single piece, making it practical for low-quantity or prototype work where a full bar order is not required.

Key Features

• AISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel for consistent heat-treat response
• 3 mm thick by 15 mm wide cross-section suits small tool and die blank applications
• 1000 mm length provides stock for multiple blanks from a single piece
• Tight thickness tolerance of plus 0.05 mm supports precision layout work
• Sold in single-piece quantity with no minimum order beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat bar for use in standard toolmaking and machining applications where AISI Type O1 material specification is required.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers using appropriate metal-cutting equipment. Use cutting fluid when sawing or milling to extend tool life and maintain dimensional accuracy. Heat treatment, including oil quenching and tempering, should follow established shop procedures and applicable safety protocols for hot work. Always wear appropriate PPE when handling or processing tool steel bar stock.
