Value Collection M1D26 O-1 Drill Rod 2mm 36 Inches

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION M1D26 is an O-1 oil hardening drill rod manufactured from tool steel and supplied in a 36-inch length. This rod stock has a nominal diameter of 2mm (0.079 inches) and is intended for use in tool rooms, machine shops, and maintenance environments where ground-and-polished rod stock is required for custom tooling, punches, dowel pins, and fixture components. O-1 tool steel offers good wear resistance and machinability in the annealed state, making it a reliable choice for fabricated tooling applications that require subsequent oil hardening heat treatment.

This drill rod is suited for metalworking applications in tooling fabrication, prototype machining, and precision mechanical assembly. The 2mm diameter makes it appropriate for small-scale punch-and-die work, gauge pins, and custom fastener or pin applications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and maintenance technicians working on light-duty fixture builds or tooling repairs are the typical end users. The rod ships in a single 36-inch length per piece.

Key Features

• O-1 oil hardening tool steel composition for consistent heat-treat response
• 2mm (0.079 inches) nominal diameter for small-bore and fine-tolerance applications
• 36-inch overall length provides ample stock for multiple cut-to-length parts
• Ground rod form supports close-tolerance fits in tooling and fixture work
• Supplied in annealed condition for machining prior to hardening

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O-1 tool steel rod suitable for use in standard tooling fabrication, punch-and-die, and precision machining applications that require a 2mm diameter ground rod stock.

Installation Notes

This rod stock is worked by machinists and tool and die makers using standard metal-cutting equipment. Cut to length using appropriate metal-cutting tools and deburr all cut edges before use in assemblies. If heat treating is required, follow the O-1 steel hardening and tempering procedure from the material supplier and use proper personal protective equipment throughout the process. Ensure workholding and fixturing are secure during any machining operations.
