8mm Thick Ground Flat Stock

About

This range of ground flat stock is made from tool steel and can be sourced in multiple metric lengths. Generally speaking, the material is applied for tool-making purposes, as each piece consists of ground edges and surfaces and saw-cut ends. As a result, the metal can be easily manipulated to fit a project’s unique requirements due to its annealed condition.
