Tool Steel Drill Rod O1 Metric offers excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment, and otherwise decent attributes. O1 is an oil-hardening, general purpose tool steel. While not as strong or wear resistant as A-2 or D-2, it experiences significantly less distortion during the heat treating process. It is typically used in rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges.

The drill rod has a diameter of 21mm and a maximum length of 36 inches. It is made from O1 oil-hardening tool steel, known for excellent dimensional stability during heat treatment and good machinability.

This product is precision ground and currently does not offer custom cut options from the warehouse, so it is sold in the standard 36-inch length.

Yes, O1 tool steel offers less distortion during heat treatment compared to A-2 or D-2 steels, making it ideal for rolls, punches, shear knives, food processing knives, and gauges, although it is less wear resistant than A-2 or D-2.

Yes, the drill rod is in stock and available for immediate shipment. Additionally, a material test report (MTR) is available for this product.

The O1 tool steel drill rod has a machinability rating of 95, indicating it is relatively easy to machine, which helps in efficient processing for various tooling applications.
