Starrett 54262 496 Series AISI O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock 1/16" x 1-3/4" x 36"

The Starrett 54262 is a precision-ground flat stock made from AISI O1 oil-hardening tool steel, measuring 1/16 inch thick by 1-3/4 inches wide by 36 inches long. This high-quality tool steel is ideal for precision toolmaking, gauge making, and fabrication applications requiring dimensional stability and edge retention.

Key Features:

• AISI O1 oil-hardening tool steel composition for superior wear resistance
• Dimensionally stable material minimizes warping during heat treatment
• Excellent for intricate work and thin sections with minimal risk of cracking
• Precision-ground finish for consistent thickness and flatness
• Can be hardened to Rockwell C 57-62 for demanding applications
• Ideal for custom tooling, jigs, fixtures, and gauge components

AISI O1 tool steel is known for its excellent machinability in the annealed state and its ability to achieve high hardness through oil quenching. This flat stock can be easily machined, drilled, and shaped before heat treatment, making it a versatile choice for tool and die makers, machinists, and fabricators who require precise, stable material for critical applications.
