Value Collection O1D7326 O-1 Tool Steel Drill Rod 7/32 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION O1D7326 is an O-1 oil hardening tool steel drill rod measuring 7/32 inch (0.2190 inch decimal) in diameter and 36 inches in length. O-1 tool steel is a general-purpose oil hardening grade known for its good machinability in the annealed state and predictable response to heat treatment. Drill rod in this form is supplied in a precision ground, annealed condition, making it ready for custom machining, tooling fabrication, punches, pins, gauges, and similar tool room applications. Machinists, toolmakers, and fabricators are the primary users of this material.

This drill rod is suited for tool room and machine shop environments where a reliable, machinable steel stock is needed prior to hardening. Common applications include the fabrication of custom punches, mandrels, dowel pins, taps, reamers, and fixture components. The 36-inch length provides sufficient stock for multiple smaller tooling pieces from a single rod. The O-1 grade is appropriate for applications that do not require extreme heat or high-speed cutting conditions.

Key Features

• O-1 oil hardening tool steel for predictable heat treatment response
• Precision ground diameter of 0.2190 inches for tight dimensional tolerance
• 36-inch length provides versatile stock for multiple tooling blanks
• Annealed condition allows machining before hardening
• Suitable for punches, pins, gauges, mandrels, and custom tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose O-1 oil hardening drill rod for use in tool room, machine shop, and fabrication applications requiring a 7/32 inch diameter steel stock in 36-inch lengths.

Installation Notes

Cutting and machining of tool steel drill rod should be performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers using appropriate cutting tools rated for steel. Heat treatment to harden O-1 steel requires quenching in oil and should follow established metallurgical procedures. Always use proper personal protective equipment when cutting, grinding, or heat treating steel stock. Dispose of metal chips and cutting fluids in accordance with local regulations.
