40mmx60mmx500mm GROUND FLAT STOCK GAUGE PLATE - 01 TOOL STEEL

Constructed from one of the most common cold work tool steels (W1.2510/O1) this range of precision ground flat stock is available to purchase in a host of metric sizes. Each product measures 500mm in length and 40mm in thickness with varying width sizes. Supplied in an annealed state, they are suitable for oil hardening up to 64HRc once your desired tool has been forged. With a high dimensional stability in temperatures up to 200°C, each product offers good durability, gives excellent wear resistance and holds a good cutting edge. Each end has been saw cut and all four sides are in a ground condition.
