Starrett 54344 496 AISI O1 Tool Steel Flat Stock 3/16" x 2" x 36"

The Starrett 54344 is a precision-ground flat stock bar made from AISI O1 oil-hardening tool steel, measuring 3/16 inch thick by 2 inches wide by 36 inches long. This high-quality tool steel is ideal for manufacturing cutting tools, gauges, jigs, fixtures, and precision machine components.

Key Features:

• AISI O1 oil-hardening tool steel for superior hardness and wear resistance
• Dimensionally stable during heat treatment, minimizing warping and distortion
• Excellent machinability in the annealed state
• Suitable for intricate work and thin sections with minimal risk of cracking
• Precision-ground flat stock for accurate dimensional tolerances
• Can be hardened to Rockwell C 57-64 for maximum durability

O1 tool steel is a versatile, general-purpose tool steel that combines good wear resistance with excellent toughness. It machines cleanly, holds fine detail, and responds predictably to heat treatment. This flat stock is ready for machining and fabrication into custom tooling, wear plates, or other precision components requiring dimensional stability and long-term durability.
