Value Collection 60214665 S-7 Flat Stock 3/16x1x18 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 60214665 is an S-7 tool steel flat stock bar cut to 3/16 inch thick, 1 inch wide, and 18 inches long. S-7 is an air-hardening shock-resistant tool steel recognized for high impact toughness and moderate wear resistance. This flat stock is supplied in the annealed condition, making it machinable before hardening. It is used by tool and die makers, machinists, and metalworking shops that need a reliable blanks-to-shape starting material. Dimensional tolerances are held to plus 0.010 to 0.015 inch on width, thickness, and square, giving fabricators a consistent, predictable starting point for secondary operations.

This flat stock suits applications in tool and die fabrication, punch and chisel blanks, alignment keys, and custom fixtures where impact toughness is a priority. The 18-inch length provides enough material for multiple short tooling blanks or one longer component without excessive saw loss. The 1-inch width and 3/16-inch thickness are standard sizes that fit common surface grinder and mill setups found in job shops and maintenance departments.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose S-7 tool steel flat stock blank for use in tool and die, punch fabrication, and custom fixture applications requiring a 3/16 inch by 1 inch cross-section profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by a qualified machinist using appropriate speeds and feeds for the material grade. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when sawing or grinding. If heat treatment is required after machining, follow the steel supplier's recommended hardening and tempering procedure for S-7 tool steel. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before any cutting operation to prevent movement.
