HSS Steel Flat Bar Strip Metal Plate 2-120mm Width 200mm Long Lathe Turning Tool

Match the cross-section to your tool post or quick-change holder slot. Most hobby lathes use 8–12 mm square or rectangular blanks; larger industrial lathes may require 14 mm or wider stock. Measure your existing tool holders or consult your lathe's manual for the recommended blank size before selecting a variant.

No. HSS flat bar stock is supplied as a blank and must be ground to the required cutting geometry (rake angle, clearance angle, nose radius) before use as a turning or parting tool. A bench grinder or surface grinder with an appropriate wheel is needed to shape the tool.

HSS grades typically achieve 62–65 HRC after hardening and tempering. The stock supplied here is in a ground flat bar form; if you require confirmed hardness data or a specific HSS grade (e.g., M2, M42), please contact us before ordering so we can verify the specification for your batch.

HSS tools can cut stainless steel and mild hardened materials at moderate speeds when ground with appropriate geometry and used with cutting fluid. For continuous high-speed production on hardened steels, carbide inserts are generally preferred. HSS is well-suited for low-volume, precision, or interrupted cuts where toughness matters more than top-end cutting speed.

No. Packing quantity varies by cross-section size. Smaller, lighter cross-sections (e.g., 0.5 mm thick) are available in packs of 2 or 3 pieces; larger cross-sections are typically sold as single pieces. The exact quantity for each variant is shown in the "Packing Quantity (Pcs)" option selector on this page.

Yes. The ground flat surfaces and consistent cross-section make HSS flat bar strips suitable for use as precision shim stock, guide rails, wear inserts, or jig components where dimensional accuracy and hardness are required. Thinner variants (0.5–1 mm) work well as shims; thicker variants (6–14 mm) are more appropriate for structural jig elements.

The price shown reflects the pack as listed. A 3-piece pack gives you spare blanks to grind multiple tool geometries (e.g., a roughing tool and a finishing tool) from the same cross-section without placing a separate order. Single-piece options are available for larger cross-sections where one blank is typically sufficient for a specific tool.
