Value Collection 86332202 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 86332202 is a D2 tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die making, and precision machining applications. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium air-hardening tool steel known for excellent wear resistance and dimensional stability after heat treatment. This flat bar measures 18 inches in length, 2 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in thickness, weighing approximately 5.09 pounds. It ships in a quantity of one piece per package. Machinists, toolmakers, and die shops use this stock to fabricate punches, dies, forming tools, blades, and wear-resistant components where tight tolerances and material hardness are critical.

This flat stock is suited for tool and die shops, production machining facilities, and maintenance departments requiring precision-ground or precision-tolerance steel bar for custom component fabrication. The annealed or pre-hardened condition typical of D2 flat stock allows for machining prior to final heat treatment. It is appropriate for both short-run prototype tooling and production die sets where long service life under abrasive or high-pressure conditions is required.

Installation Notes

Handling and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers using appropriate cutting tools rated for high-alloy steels. Secure the workpiece firmly in a vise or fixture before cutting, grinding, or drilling. If heat treatment is required after machining, follow the heat treat specifications for D2 tool steel and allow proper quench and temper cycles. Always wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves when handling and processing steel bar stock.
