Value Collection 60213873 S-7 Flat Stock 5/16x1.5x36

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 60213873 is an S-7 tool steel flat stock bar sized at 0.3125 inches thick, 1.5 inches 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 common choice for tooling, punches, dies, and fixtures. This flat stock is supplied in the annealed condition for machinability, ready for heat treatment to final hardness after machining. Machinists, toolmakers, and die makers working in job shops or maintenance environments are the primary users. Width, thickness, and length tolerances are held to plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches on all dimensions.

This flat stock is suited for fabricating impact tooling, forming dies, chisels, punches, and machine components that must withstand repeated shock loads without fracturing. The 36-inch length provides practical stock for multiple tool blanks from a single bar. It is appropriate for both short-run production tooling and maintenance-repair applications where S-7 properties are specified by an engineer or tooling blueprint.

Key Features

• S-7 shock-resistant tool steel grade for high-impact tooling applications
• Flat stock profile: 0.3125 inches thick x 1.5 inches wide x 36 inches long
• Dimensional tolerances held to plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches on width, thickness, and length
• Annealed condition supports machining prior to heat treatment
• Single-piece packaging suitable for job shop and MRO procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose S-7 tool steel flat stock blank for machined tooling, dies, punches, and fixtures where shock-resistant tool steel is specified.

Installation Notes

Cutting and 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. Heat treatment to final hardness must follow the material specification for S-7 steel and should be performed in a controlled atmosphere or salt bath furnace to minimize decarburization. Always wear appropriate PPE when cutting, grinding, or machining tool steel bar stock.
