Value Collection NS06264162 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NS06264162 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die work, jig fabrication, and precision machining applications. Measuring 3/8 inch thick, 1 inch wide, and 36 inches long, this flat stock is manufactured to AISI Type O1 material specification and held to tight dimensional tolerances. Thickness tolerance is plus or minus 0.001 inches, width tolerance is plus 0.005 inches to negative 0.000 inches, and length tolerance is plus 0.5 inches. At 3.87 pounds, it is sized for benchtop or machine shop use. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fabricators work with this material for applications where consistent dimensions and predictable heat-treat response are required.

O1 tool steel is a general-purpose oil-hardening grade well suited for punches, dies, gauges, cutting tools, and wear-resistant components. This flat bar format is ready for sawing, milling, grinding, or turning prior to heat treatment. It is appropriate for both production shop and prototype environments where dimensional accuracy before hardening is critical to final part performance.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as a standard O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat bar suitable for toolmaking, die making, and general precision fabrication applications requiring a ground or saw-cut flat stock starting profile.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate metalworking equipment. O1 tool steel should be annealed before machining if supplied in a hardened condition, and heat treatment must follow established AISI O1 hardening procedures including proper oil quench. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or heat-treating steel stock. Consult applicable shop safety standards and material data sheets before processing.
