Value Collection NS06266365 O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION NS06266365 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 1 inch thick, 2.5 inches wide, and 36 inches long, weighing approximately 25.79 pounds. O1 tool steel offers excellent machinability in the annealed state and achieves high hardness after oil quenching, making it a reliable choice for cutting tools, gauges, jigs, and fixture components. Machinists and tool and die makers are the primary installers and end users of this material.

This flat stock is suited for job shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing facilities requiring pre-sized tool steel bar stock ready for machining and heat treatment. The 36-inch length provides a practical starting blank for a wide range of tool and die applications. The tight dimensional tolerances make this stock appropriate for precision work where close-to-finish dimensions reduce material removal time at the machine.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O1 oil-hardening tool steel flat stock suitable for use in standard tool room and machining applications requiring AISI Type O1 material.

Installation Notes

Cutting, grinding, and machining of tool steel flat stock should be performed by qualified machinists using appropriate cutting tools rated for tool steel hardness. Follow established heat treatment procedures for O1 oil-hardening steel, including proper preheat, hardening temperature, and oil quench sequence, in accordance with the material specification and shop safety protocols. Secure the workpiece firmly before any machining or cutting operation. Personal protective equipment including eye protection and gloves is required when handling and processing tool steel stock.
