Value Collection O1D15646 O-1 Drill Rod 15/64 in Tool Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION O1D15646 is an O-1 oil hardening drill rod machined from tool steel to a diameter of 0.234 inches (15/64 inch) and cut to an overall length of 36 inches. O-1 tool steel is a general-purpose oil hardening grade known for its good dimensional stability during heat treatment and moderate wear resistance, making it a reliable stock material for toolmakers, machinists, and die makers. This rod is used as raw stock for fabricating punches, dies, dowel pins, shafts, and other precision tooling components. It weighs 0.441 pounds per piece.

This drill rod is suited for machine shop and tool room applications where a readily machinable, oil hardening tool steel blank is required. It is appropriate for both production and prototype tooling work in job shops, maintenance departments, and manufacturing facilities. The 36-inch length provides a full stock bar that can be cut to multiple workpiece lengths on a horizontal bandsaw or cold saw. No specific OEM system compatibility applies to this product.

Key Features

• O-1 oil hardening grade tool steel for predictable heat treat response and good dimensional stability
• Diameter of 0.234 inches (15/64 inch) for close-tolerance tooling stock applications
• 36-inch overall length provides full bar stock for multiple cutoff pieces
• Tool steel construction offers good machinability in the annealed condition prior to hardening
• Sold as a single piece per unit with no minimum order beyond one piece

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O-1 oil hardening tool steel drill rod suitable for fabrication of custom punches, pins, dies, and tooling components in standard machine shop and tool room environments.

Installation Notes

This is raw bar stock intended for machining and heat treating by qualified machinists or toolmakers. Cut to length using a cold saw or horizontal bandsaw with appropriate cutting fluid before performing any secondary machining operations. When hardening, follow O-1 steel heat treatment procedures using a proper quench oil bath and appropriate personal protective equipment. Handle cut ends carefully to avoid sharp burrs.
