This product is a rectangle bar made from A2 tool steel with a thickness of 0.25 inches and a width of 12 inches. It is ground oversize for precision and available in lengths up to 36 inches. The alloy contains elements such as carbon (0.95-1.05%), chromium (5.13%), molybdenum (1.15%), and vanadium (0.33%), providing good strength and wear resistance.

Yes, the A2 tool steel bar has a machinability rating of 65, making it suitable for machining processes. It is commonly used for punches, dies, cutting tools in woodworking, tooling for plastics, dowel pins, hammers, and industrial knives due to its excellent stability during heat treatment and balanced wear resistance.

The product is offered in two standard cut lengths: 18 inches and 36 inches. However, the custom cut warehouse availability is zero, indicating that custom cut lengths are not available for this item.

This tool steel rectangle bar complies with RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) directive, specifically RoHS 6C. It does not meet REACH compliance. Additionally, an MTR (Material Test Report) is available for this product to verify its material properties.

The 18-inch length option ships with a weight of approximately 15.29 pounds, while the 36-inch length option weighs about 30.57 pounds. Both length options are currently in stock and available for immediate shipment.
