O-1 tool steel is a general-purpose, oil-hardening grade prized for its machinability in the annealed state and its ability to achieve high surface hardness after heat treatment. Drill rod in this profile is supplied in a precision-ground, round cross-section and serves as raw stock for fabricating punches, dies, reamers, taps, dowel pins, and other close-tolerance tooling components. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance professionals stock this material as a standard shop supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis drill rod is suited for toolroom, maintenance, and light manufacturing environments where small-diameter precision stock is required. The 0.18-inch diameter places it in the fine-gauge range, making it appropriate for applications such as small punch blanks, alignment pins, custom drill fabrication, and fixture components. It is sold as individual 36-inch lengths, making it practical for prototyping or low-volume tooling work where full bar stock is not needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO-1 oil hardening tool steel grade — good machinability before hardening, high hardness after quench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrecision-ground round stock ensures dimensional consistency along the full 36-inch length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.18-inch diameter suits fine-gauge punch, pin, and small-tool applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36-inch length provides flexible cut-to-size stock for multiple small components from a single piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as individual pieces with no minimum quantity requirement beyond one unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a general-purpose O-1 oil hardening drill rod for toolroom and maintenance applications requiring precision-ground, small-diameter round steel stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eCutting and machining of tool steel drill rod should be performed with appropriate metalworking equipment and personal protective equipment including eye and hand protection. When heat treating O-1 steel, follow established oil-quenching procedures for this grade, as improper quench medium or temperature control can result in cracking or inadequate hardness. All grinding, cutting, and heat-treating operations should comply with applicable shop safety standards and local codes. Allow parts to fully cool and inspect for cracks before placing hardened components into service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: O-1 Oil Hardening Tool Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.261 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTempering Medium\u003c\/strong\u003e: Oil Hardening (O-1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: VALUE COLLECTION\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: O1D#146\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"VALUE COLLECTION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51714429616434,"sku":"O1D#146","price":15.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/409751f27021742500fcffdb413b9666.jpg?v=1788501353","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/value-collection-o1d146-o-1-tool-steel-drill-rod-0-18in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
