Value Collection O1D7646 O-1 Drill Rod 7/64 in 36 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION O1D7646 is an O-1 oil hardening drill rod machined from tool steel to a diameter of 0.109 inches (7/64 inch fraction) and cut to a 36 inch overall length. O-1 tool steel is a general-purpose oil-hardening grade known for its dimensional stability and good machinability in the annealed state. This rod stock is used for making punches, pins, taps, reamers, and other precision tooling where a moderate hardness and tight diameter tolerance are required. Machinists, toolmakers, and die makers are the primary users of this material.

This drill rod is suited for job shop and production toolroom applications requiring round stock in smaller diameters. The 7/64 inch diameter makes it appropriate for fabricating small-diameter tooling components, dowel pins, and custom cutting tools. At 36 inches in length, a single piece provides enough stock for multiple tooling blanks. This product is sold individually and is intended for bench or CNC lathe work prior to heat treatment.

Key Features

• O-1 oil hardening tool steel for consistent heat treat response
• Precision ground to 0.109 inch (7/64 inch) diameter
• 36 inch overall length provides multiple blanks from a single piece
• Annealed condition allows machining before hardening
• General-purpose grade suitable for punches, pins, reamers, and custom tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard O-1 oil hardening tool steel drill rod blank for toolroom and machining applications requiring 7/64 inch diameter round stock.

Installation Notes

Cutting and grinding of tool steel rod should be performed with appropriate coolant to avoid work hardening the surface prematurely. Heat treatment of O-1 steel requires oil quenching at the correct austenitizing temperature and should be performed by qualified personnel following established metallurgical procedures. Always wear appropriate PPE including safety glasses and gloves when cutting or handling rod stock. Consult applicable shop safety standards for handling and storage of long stock pieces.
