In Search Of - M2 HSS Blanks, Large Diameter

Zahnrad Kopf · May 11, 2019

In search of quality Hardened HSS tool blanks. Prefer a preexisting bore. Need 4" - 6" diameters, 1/2" thick. Most everyone I have found only make the typical drill/reamer sizes. Nothing large enough. So what's out there?

At the place i used to work at they bought plate HSS in the annealed form cut it on the water jet to whatever shape they needed rough ground it and went then to hardening then finish grind.
Plate sizes went from 1.2 mm to 46mm thick they had a wide range.

Looks for a plate supplier then cut it out etc. i will add a water jet will cut it in the hard state or soft state.

i just duck duck go searched this place check it out https://www.griggssteel.com/inventory/

IIRC Scot forge in Deetroit hand forges blanks of most any material.

One local shop needed similar in d-2, (edger rolls) and it had to be forged all 6 ways, they found that saw from round didn't hold up in the application.
Scot forge came thru nicely.
