Value Collection 60213659 S-7 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 60213659 is an S-7 tool steel flat bar measuring 3/16 inch thick, 3/4 inch wide, and 36 inches long. S-7 is an air- or oil-hardening shock-resistant tool steel known for its toughness and impact resistance, making it a reliable choice for tooling, dies, punches, and fabrication work. Held to tight dimensional tolerances of plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches on width, thickness, and squareness, this flat stock is suitable for precision machining and tool-and-die applications. It ships in a single-piece quantity and weighs approximately 1.57 pounds. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and metalworking professionals are the primary users of this material.

S-7 flat stock in this size range is commonly used in job shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments. Typical applications include fabricating punches, chisels, knockout pins, and custom tooling inserts. The 36-inch length provides enough stock for multiple parts to be cut from a single bar, reducing waste in short-run tooling production. This piece is suited to both manual and CNC machining operations prior to heat treatment.

Installation Notes

S-7 tool steel is typically machined in the annealed state before heat treatment. Use appropriate cutting fluids and tooling rated for tool steel when machining. Follow established heat-treat procedures for S-7 if hardening is required, as improper quenching can cause cracking. Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting or grinding tool steel bar stock.
