Value Collection 86340007 D2 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 86340007 is a D2 tool steel flat stock bar measuring 18 inches in overall length, 5/8 inches in width, and 5/8 inches in thickness. D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium air-hardening tool steel known for excellent wear resistance and edge retention, making it a staple material in toolmaking, die work, and precision machining applications. This flat stock ships in a ready-to-machine condition, suitable for fabricating cutting tools, punches, dies, and wear parts. It weighs approximately 1.99 pounds per piece. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and industrial fabricators work with this material when dimensional consistency and tight tolerances are required.

This flat stock is suited for tool and die shops, metal fabrication facilities, and maintenance machining environments. It is commonly used to produce blanks for punches, dies, gauges, and similar precision components. The 18-inch length provides a practical working blank for a wide range of small to mid-sized tooling applications. The square cross-section profile simplifies setup on mills, surface grinders, and EDM equipment. One piece is included per package.

Installation Notes

D2 tool steel flat stock should be handled and machined by qualified machinists or tool-and-die makers familiar with high-alloy tool steels. Use appropriate cutting fluids and tooling rated for hard or semi-hard steel when sawing, milling, or grinding. Heat treatment, including hardening and tempering, should follow established metallurgical procedures for D2 steel and be performed by qualified personnel. Personal protective equipment including eye protection and cut-resistant gloves is recommended during all cutting and handling operations.
