The thickness, length, and width are oversized for finishing to your exact requirements. These bars are also known as flat stock. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.

Precision-ground bars have less stock to remove on the top, bottom, and sides for achieving a finished piece faster.

An oversized diameter allows for finishing to your exact requirements. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies. These rods and discs are decarb-free for a uniform surface that will consistently accept heat treating.

All set for turning in your lathe, these precision-ground rods are held to tight diameter and straightness tolerances. They’re also known as drill rod. The addition of nickel gives D2 tool steel better wear resistance than A2. This air-hardening material is often used for cutting blades, stamps, and forming dies.
