    Hardened Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Sheets

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Hardened Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Sheets.
    Made of M2 tool steel, these sheets offer a balance of wear resistance and machinability. They’re also hardened to increase their resistance to impacts and abrasion. High molybdenum content helps them keep a sharp cutting edge even at high temperatures, so they’re often used to make high-speed cutting tools. Also known as flat stock.

    Tight-Tolerance Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Bars

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Tight-Tolerance Multipurpose M2 High-Speed Tool Steel Bars.
    Precision-ground to a tight thickness tolerance, these bars are also known as flat stock. A nice balance of wear resistance and machinability makes M2 tool steel suitable for most high-speed cutting tools. It has a high molybdenum content, which allows it to maintain a sharp cutting edge even at elevated temperatures.
