DESCRIPTION

O-1 Flat Bar Tool Steel Oversize Oil Hardened is a precision ground tool steel designed for machining, tooling, and fabrication applications requiring excellent wear resistance, high hardness capability, and strong dimensional stability. The 3/16″ x 6″ (.1875″ x 6.000″) flat bar is supplied in an oversize condition to allow for finish grinding or machining to exact final dimensions after heat treatment. O-1 is an oil-hardening tool steel known for its good toughness, excellent machinability in the annealed state, and high hardness potential, making it ideal for custom tooling and precision components. Sold in 18″ or 36″ lengths to support a variety of shop and production requirements.

Applications:
O-1 Flat Bar Tool Steel is commonly used in precision tooling and industrial applications, including:
• Cutting tools, shear blades, and machine knives
• Dies, punches, and stamping tools
• Jigs, fixtures, and alignment components
• Wear strips, guides, and machine parts
• Bushings, spacers, and custom machined components
• General tool room fabrication, repair, and maintenance work

Advantages:
• Oil hardening steel: Reduces distortion during heat treatment
• Oversize precision stock: Allows final machining to tight tolerances
• High wear resistance: Suitable for demanding tooling and contact applications
• Good machinability: Easily machined in the annealed condition
• High hardness capability: Excellent edge retention and durability after heat treat
• Versatile material: Ideal for custom tooling and industrial fabrication
• Length options: Available in 18″ or 36″ lengths for flexibility and reduced waste

Summary:
The 3/16″ x 6″ (.1875″ x 6.000″) O-1 Flat Bar Tool Steel Oversize Oil Hardened stock is a durable, high-performance tool steel designed for precision machining, tooling, and wear-resistant applications. Available in 18″ or 36″ lengths, its combination of machinability, hardness potential, and dimensional stability makes it an excellent choice for dies, fixtures, cutting tools, and custom precision components.

* Prices subject to change without notice due to the Metals Market fluctuations. | All ‘value length’ and ‘value pack’ item measurements are subject to a “mill tolerance”. | A product may be produced several thousandths of an inch, either over or under the stated thickness, and still be within “mill tolerance”. Since we cut the material specifically for your order, they follow these tolerances: Length: +0.125″ / -0.062” – Please note that during cutting, the blade removes about 1/16″ of material (kerf). This is a normal part of the process and is already considered within the stated tolerances.
