Value Collection O1D47646 O-1 Drill Rod 47/64 in Tool Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION O1D47646 is an O-1 oil hardening drill rod machined from tool steel to a diameter of 0.734 inches (47/64 inch) and 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, moderate wear resistance, and ease of machining in the annealed state. This drill rod is used by machinists, tool and die makers, and metalworking shops to fabricate punches, dies, gauges, shafts, and custom tooling. The round cross-section and precision diameter make it suitable for lathe work, milling setups, and hand-filing to final form before hardening.

This drill rod is suited for job shops, maintenance departments, and prototype tooling applications where a reliable, machinable tool steel stock is required. It is appropriate for both light production tooling and one-off custom components. The 36-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple shorter blanks when cut to size. O-1 grade is compatible with standard oil quench hardening procedures, making it a practical choice for in-house heat treat operations.

Key Features

• O-1 oil hardening tool steel — machines cleanly in annealed condition and responds consistently to oil quench heat treatment
• Precision ground to 0.734 inches (47/64 inch) diameter for accurate blank sizing
• 36-inch overall length provides flexibility for cutting multiple workpiece blanks from a single rod
• Round drill rod form is ready for lathe turning, cylindrical grinding, or direct use as a shaft or pin blank
• Tool steel construction offers good wear resistance and toughness after hardening and tempering

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O-1 oil hardening tool steel drill rod for use in machining, toolmaking, and fabrication applications requiring a 47/64 inch diameter round stock.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of drill rod should be performed with appropriate eye protection and secure workholding; carbide or high-speed steel tooling is recommended for turning and milling operations. Heat treatment including hardening and tempering should be carried out by qualified personnel following established metallurgical procedures for O-1 tool steel. Always allow the rod to reach a safe handling temperature before measuring or further machining after any thermal operation. Consult applicable shop safety standards and material data sheets before beginning heat treat operations.
