Value Collection NS06140107 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NS06140107 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die work, punches, and precision machining applications. Measuring 0.625 inches thick, 1 inch wide, and 18 inches long, this flat stock is cut to a tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches, making it suitable for applications where dimensional accuracy matters before heat treatment. AISI Type O1 is an oil-hardening grade known for its good machinability in the annealed state and its ability to achieve high hardness after quenching. Machinists, tool and die makers, and metal fabricators work with this material to produce custom tooling components.

This flat stock is suited for job shops, toolrooms, and maintenance shops where small quantities of precision tool steel are needed. It is used in the production of cutting tools, dies, gauges, jigs, fixtures, and other tooling components that require a hardenable steel with predictable dimensional performance. The 18-inch length and 1-inch width make it appropriate for short-run tooling work without requiring additional sawing in most applications.

Key Features

• AISI Type O1 oil-hardening tool steel for consistent heat-treat response
• Tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches for precision fitment
• Width tolerance of plus 0.005 inches, minus 0.000 inches
• Length tolerance of plus 0.25 inches
• Edge squareness: 0.003 inches per inch of thickness; end squareness: 0.004 inches per inch of thickness
• Ready-to-machine annealed condition typical for O1 flat stock

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock suitable for toolroom and die shop applications requiring AISI Type O1 material in this size range.

Installation Notes

This material is worked by machinists and tool and die makers using standard metalworking equipment. Before heat treatment, follow the quenching and tempering procedures appropriate for AISI O1 tool steel as specified by the material supplier or a qualified metallurgical reference. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or heat-treating tool steel. Consult applicable shop safety standards before performing any thermal processing operations.
