Value Precut Steel Pipe

Overview

The VALUE COLLECTION PR01.25X12 is a decarb-free A2 air-hardening tool steel round bar stocked for toolmakers, die makers, and machine shops that need ready-to-machine stock. At 1.25 inches in diameter and 12 inches in overall length, this round ships with an oversize diameter tolerance of +0.010 to +0.020 inches, which preserves a full surface layer free of decarburization so machinists can cut directly to finish dimensions without first grinding away a degraded skin. A2 tool steel offers a balanced combination of wear resistance, toughness, and dimensional stability during air hardening, making it a practical choice for punches, dies, gauges, and fixtures. This round bar is suited for job shops, tool-and-die operations, and maintenance departments that need short-run stock for prototype or replacement tooling. The 12-inch stock length covers a wide range of small-part applications. Because the diameter is held to a consistent oversize tolerance, the bar is compatible with standard lathe turning and surface grinding workflows without the need for preliminary skin passes to remove decarburized material. Industrial supply distributors and machine shop consumable buyers are the primary purchasers of this item. Key Features Decarb-free surface — oversize diameter tolerance of +0.010 to +0.020 inches eliminates the need to remove a decarburized skin before finish machining A2 air-hardening tool steel grade — offers good dimensional stability and wear resistance after heat…
