Value Collection 60215027 S-7 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 60215027 is an S-7 tool steel flat stock bar measuring 0.5 inches thick, 0.75 inches wide, and 18 inches long. S-7 is an air- or oil-hardening shock-resistant tool steel known for high impact toughness and moderate wear resistance. This flat stock is used by machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance trades as raw material for fabricating punches, dies, chisels, and other impact tooling. It ships in the annealed condition, ready for machining and subsequent heat treatment. Dimensional tolerances are held to plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches on width, thickness, and squareness.

S-7 flat stock at this size suits both prototype and production tooling applications in job shops and maintenance facilities. The 18-inch length allows multiple blanks to be cut from a single piece for small-run tooling projects. Typical users include tool and die shops, industrial maintenance departments, and fabrication operations that need a reliable shock-resistant steel for hand tools and striking components.

Key Features

• S-7 shock-resistant tool steel grade for high impact toughness
• Dimensions: 0.5 inches thick x 0.75 inches wide x 18 inches long
• Tight dimensional tolerances: plus 0.010 to 0.015 inches on width, thickness, and squareness
• Annealed condition supports machining prior to heat treatment
• Single-piece quantity — no minimum order beyond one bar

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose S-7 tool steel flat bar for machining and tooling fabrication applications requiring shock-resistant material at this cross-section size.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of tool steel flat stock requires appropriate metalworking equipment such as band saws, milling machines, or surface grinders. Wear proper PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling and cutting. If heat treatment is required after machining, follow established procedures for S-7 steel and use a calibrated furnace to achieve the desired hardness. Allow the part to fully cool before handling or secondary operations.
