Value Collection O1D5646 O-1 Drill Rod 5/64 in 36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION O1D5646 is an O-1 oil hardening drill rod machined from tool steel to a diameter of 0.0780 inches (5/64 inch) and cut to an overall length of 36 inches. O-1 tool steel is a general-purpose oil-hardening grade known for its dimensional stability during heat treatment and its ability to hold a sharp edge after hardening. This rod stock is used by machinists, tool and die makers, and metal fabricators as raw material for punches, pins, gauges, and custom tooling. It ships in single-piece quantity and weighs approximately 0.05 pounds.

This drill rod is suited for job shop, production machining, and toolroom environments where precise-diameter ground stock is required. The 36-inch length allows multiple pieces to be cut from a single rod, making it practical for batch fabrication of small-diameter tooling components. It is appropriate for applications where the finished part will be oil-quenched and tempered to final hardness.

Key Features

• O-1 oil hardening tool steel for predictable heat treatment results
• Ground to 0.0780 inch (5/64 inch) diameter for close-tolerance fitment
• 36-inch overall length provides stock for multiple cuts per rod
• Tool steel construction supports hardening, tempering, and finish grinding
• Single-piece packaging with no minimum order above one unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-diameter O-1 oil hardening drill rod for use in toolroom and machining applications requiring ground tool steel round stock in the 5/64 inch diameter range.

Installation Notes

Cutting and grinding of tool steel rod should be performed with appropriate metalworking equipment; use cutting fluid to manage heat during sawing or milling. If heat treating, follow O-1 oil quench procedures using a calibrated furnace and an appropriate quenching oil — do not substitute water quench. Wear appropriate PPE including eye protection and heat-resistant gloves during any hardening operation. Consult applicable shop safety standards and material data sheets before processing.
