Value Collection 35574672 S-7 Tool Steel Round 5/8 in 3 Ft

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 35574672 is a decarb-free S-7 tool steel round bar in stock length, intended for use in tool and die shops, maintenance departments, and manufacturing environments where shock-resistant tool steel is required. S-7 grade, also known as Hi-Shock tool steel, offers high impact toughness combined with good hardness retention, making it well suited for punches, chisels, forming dies, and other tooling subject to repeated impact loads. This bar measures 5/8 inch in diameter and 3 feet in overall length. The decarb-free surface condition means the outer layer has not lost carbon during mill processing, preserving the material integrity needed for precision tool fabrication without requiring additional stock removal before heat treat.

This round bar is appropriate for both job shop and in-house tooling applications across metalworking, stamping, and fabrication operations. Typical users include tool and die makers, machinists, and maintenance technicians who need a reliable source of impact-resistant tool steel in a short, manageable stock length. The 3-foot bar length is practical for producing multiple small tools or replacement parts from a single piece.

Key Features

• Decarb-free surface condition preserves full carbon content at the outer diameter, reducing prep work before heat treatment
• S-7 Hi-Shock grade provides high impact toughness suitable for punches, chisels, and shock-loaded tooling
• 5/8 inch diameter in a 3-foot stock length for flexible, multi-part yields
• Diameter tolerance of +0.005 to -0.015 inch supports consistent stock allowance planning
• Single-piece minimum order quantity suits low-volume or prototype tooling needs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose S-7 tool steel round bar for use wherever shock-resistant tool steel stock is specified in tooling, die making, or maintenance fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate cutting fluids and tooling rated for hard or semi-hard steel. Follow the steel supplier or heat treater recommendations for austenitizing, quenching, and tempering S-7 grade before placing tooling in service. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding tool steel bar stock. Consult applicable shop safety standards and equipment manufacturer guidelines before beginning any machining or heat treat operations.
