Value Collection 10060 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 10060 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die-making, and precision machining applications. Manufactured to AISI Type O1 specification, this flat stock measures 4.0 mm thick, 20.0 mm wide, and 1000.0 mm long. Thickness tolerance is held to +0.05 mm, width tolerance to +0.20 mm, and length tolerance to +0.50 to 0.80 mm. O1 tool steel offers excellent machinability in the annealed state and responds well to oil-quench hardening, making it a reliable choice for punches, dies, gauges, and cutting tools that require a hard, wear-resistant surface after heat treatment.

This flat stock is suited for machine shops, toolrooms, and fabrication operations that require stock material to be cut, machined, and heat-treated to final dimensions. It is commonly used in the production of form tools, jigs, fixtures, and blanking dies. The 1000.0 mm length provides adequate stock for a range of tooling projects without excessive waste. Machinists and tool-and-die makers typically specify O1 for moderate-duty applications where deep-hardening alloy steels are not required.

Key Features

• AISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel for predictable heat-treat response

• Width tolerance of +0.20 mm and length tolerance of +0.50 to 0.80 mm
• 4.0 mm x 20.0 mm cross-section ready for machining or direct layout use
• 1000.0 mm length provides full bar stock for multiple tooling blanks
• Sold as a single piece with no minimum beyond one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock suitable for toolrooms and machine shops requiring AISI Type O1 material in flat bar form.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, and machining should be performed before heat treatment to take advantage of O1 steel's free-machining characteristics in the annealed condition. Oil-quench hardening requires controlled furnace temperatures and appropriate quench media — this process should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with tool steel heat-treatment procedures. Always allow the material to reach ambient temperature before layout and measurement to ensure dimensional accuracy. Use appropriate PPE and machine guarding when sawing or milling tool steel flat stock.
