Value Collection 10010 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10010 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die making, punches, gauges, and precision machining applications. Manufactured to AISI Type O1 specifications, this flat stock measures 3 mm thick, 20 mm wide, and 1000 mm long. Thickness tolerance is +0.05 mm, width tolerance is +0.2 mm, and length tolerance is +0.5 to 0.8 mm. Machinists and toolmakers select O1 tool steel for its predictable oil-quench hardening response and good dimensional stability after heat treatment. The stock ships in a single piece and weighs approximately 1.04 pounds.

This flat stock is suited for shop and production environments where precise, heat-treatable blanks are required. Common applications include cutting tools, jigs, fixtures, blades, and wear parts fabricated in toolrooms, machine shops, and manufacturing facilities. The 1000 mm length provides enough material for multiple short blanks or a single full-length workpiece, depending on the application. Tool and die makers, machinists, and skilled tradespeople working in precision fabrication are the primary users of this stock profile.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat blank suitable for toolroom and precision machining applications requiring AISI Type O1 material specification.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, or machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate cutting fluids and tooling rated for hardened or semi-hardened steel. When heat treating, follow the oil-quench procedure specified for AISI O1 tool steel and allow the workpiece to reach a safe handling temperature before inspection. Always use proper personal protective equipment, including eye protection and heat-resistant gloves, during cutting and heat-treat operations. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before any machining or cutting operation.
