Value Collection 86308301 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 86308301 is a D2 tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die work, and precision machining applications. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium cold-work tool steel known for its excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability after heat treatment. This piece measures 18 inches in overall length, 3 inches in overall width, and 0.125 inches thick, with close-tolerance dimensions suited for dies, punches, gauges, and cutting tools. At 2.22 pounds, it is a manageable stock piece for machine shop and toolroom use. Tolerances are held tight across all axes, making it suitable for precision fabrication where material consistency matters.

This flat stock is used in industrial and toolroom environments where D2 grade material is specified for cold-work tooling, stamping dies, forming tools, slitting knives, and wear plates. It is appropriate for both small-batch custom tooling and replacement component fabrication. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and industrial maintenance professionals working with hardened steel tooling will find this stock suitable for rough-cut or near-net-shape work prior to heat treating and finish grinding.

Installation Notes

D2 tool steel flat stock is worked by qualified machinists and tool-and-die makers using conventional milling, grinding, and EDM equipment. Proper personal protective equipment should be worn when cutting or grinding. Heat treating should be performed according to the applicable D2 steel specification for the intended application. Allow material to reach ambient temperature before taking final dimensional measurements.
