Value Collection NS06265722 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NS06265722 is an O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock bar used in toolmaking, die making, punches, and precision machining applications. Manufactured to AISI Type O1 specification, this flat stock measures 0.75 inches thick, 0.75 inches wide, and 36 inches long, with a weight of 5.82 pounds. The tight thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inches makes it suitable for applications requiring close dimensional control before heat treat and finish grinding. Machinists and tool and die makers work with O1 stock in both prototype and production tooling environments.

O1 oil-hardening tool steel is a general-purpose tool steel commonly used for blanks, gauges, cutting tools, and fixtures that require a good balance of hardness, wear resistance, and machinability in the annealed state. This flat bar is supplied in annealed condition and is intended for further machining, grinding, or fabrication before oil-quench hardening. It is appropriate for use in job shops, tool rooms, and maintenance departments requiring stock material cut to a manageable working length.

Installation Notes

Machining and fabrication of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists or tool and die makers using appropriate cutting tools rated for tool steel. Material is supplied in the annealed condition; heat treatment, including oil quenching and tempering, must be performed in accordance with AISI O1 specifications and applicable shop procedures. Always allow material to reach ambient temperature before performing precision measurement. Use proper personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or handling steel flat stock.
