Value Collection 60214657 S-7 Flat Stock 3/16x3/4x18 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 60214657 is an S-7 tool steel flat stock bar measuring 3/16 inches thick, 3/4 inches wide, and 18 inches long. S-7 is an air- or oil-hardening shock-resistant tool steel known for its toughness and impact resistance, making it a go-to material for tooling, punches, dies, and machine components subject to repeated impact loads. This flat stock ships in a ready-to-use bar form and is sized for direct use or secondary machining. It is suited for machinists, toolmakers, and maintenance professionals working in fabrication, tool-and-die, or industrial maintenance environments. The bar weighs approximately 0.79 pounds.

This flat stock is appropriate for applications requiring a tough, shock-resistant tool steel in a small cross-section format. Common uses include fabricating custom punches, chisels, driver bits, and tooling fixtures. The 18-inch length provides sufficient material for multiple short tool blanks or a single longer component. The relatively compact 3/16-by-3/4-inch cross-section suits light- to medium-duty tooling work where thin, flat geometry is required.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose S-7 tool steel flat stock suitable for tool-and-die, punch, and fixture fabrication applications requiring an air- or oil-hardening shock-resistant steel in a flat bar form.

Installation Notes

Machining and heat treatment of S-7 tool steel should be performed by a qualified toolmaker or machinist. Follow appropriate shop safety procedures when cutting, grinding, or hardening tool steel, including proper eye and hand protection. Heat treatment processes such as hardening and tempering should follow the steel manufacturer's guidelines and are typically performed by a professional heat treat facility. Always confirm the required hardness and finish for the intended application before machining.
