15mmx75mmx500mm GROUND FLAT STOCK GAUGE PLATE - 01 TOOL STEEL

Precision ground flat stock supplied as 1.2510/O1 cold work tool steel, in a wide range of metric sizes. Suitable for oil hardening, these gauge plates are supplied in an annealed condition. They boast good durability, possess excellent wear resistance and hold a good cutting edge even over time. Each piece can be used to manufacture tools that usually face temperatures of up to 200°C, as they have high dimensional stability. This steel can be hardened up to 64HRc. An excellent general purpose grade material, each product comes with both ends saw cut and all four sides ground flat and measures 500mm in length and 15mm in thickness, with their widths varying.

Features and Benefits
• Manufactured from one of the most common cold work tool steels for guaranteed durability and resistance to wear and tear even over time
• Supplied in an annealed state to make it easier for you to manipulate the ground flat stock into your desired tool structure
• Can be oil hardened to increase the already robust nature of the material
• Boasts a high dimensional stability in temperatures up to 200°C, gifting your moulded tools with longevity
• Aims to help reduce material loss and wastage as it's already fit for purpose instead of milling and grinding your tool down from a large raw material plate

Typical Applications
• Can be used for the production of knives, stamping dies, wood cutting tools or for mould making applications
