What is ground flat stock?

Ground flat stock is a flat bar made from tool steel, typically the 01 tool steel grade. As gauge plate is typically precision ground, it is commonly used when accuracy and tight thresholds are required.

How do you harden flat stock?

Our precision ground flat stock is supplied in an annealed condition, so it is unlikely that heat treatment will need to be performed. However, if it is necessary to perform heat treatment for hardening purposes, we recommend oil hardening your flat stock.

What is precision flat stock used for?

Ground stock is commonly used for shear blades, knives and knife supplies, cutting tools, and mould-making applications. However, depending on your required qualities, it can be tailored to a vast range of projects and industries.

What grades do you supply?

We mainly supply gauge plate in material type AISI O1 ground flat stock but also can provide non-standard grades and sizes. Please get in touch with us today if you would like a quote on steel grades such as D2 , 420 , H11 , P20 or any other specific tool steel grade.
