Value Collection NS06265466 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NS06265466 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die making, and precision machining applications. Manufactured to AISI Type O1 material specification, this flat stock measures 0.625 inches thick, 1.5 inches wide, and 36 inches long, with a weight of 9.68 pounds. Thickness tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.001 inches, making it suitable for applications requiring close dimensional control before and after heat treatment. It is supplied in the annealed condition and intended for hardening via oil quench by the end user or a heat treat shop.

O1 tool steel flat stock is commonly used by tool and die makers, machinists, and metalworking shops for fabricating punches, dies, gauges, blades, and similar tooling. The 36-inch bar length provides material for multiple parts from a single piece. This stock is appropriate for both job shop and production toolroom environments where dimensional accuracy of the raw stock is critical to final part performance.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed using tooling rated for hardened or semi-hardened steel as applicable to the material condition. O1 tool steel must be oil quenched during heat treatment; follow established heat treat procedures for AISI O1 including proper preheat, austenitizing temperature, and tempering cycles to achieve target hardness. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding. Consult applicable shop safety standards and material data sheets before processing.
