Is there anywhere that I can get O-1 tool steel in europe or do I have to order from an american vendor?
O1 is the American name:
Aisi name (American) O1, the O stands for Oil hardened so quench in oil.
Din name (German) 100MnCrW4
EN name (European) 1.2510
BS name (British) BO1
If I can find it in my small country (and I can) you can find it all over the world.
Look HERE
I just got mine from Sheffield :)
They had it listed as Gauge Plate ( O-1 tool steel )
Tool Steel 01 - Sheffield Gauge Plate Ltd. Sheffield UK - Precision Ground Tool Steels, Ground Flat Stock
I think that may be perfect, I haven't had any luck finding companies that will sell to non-businesses over here.Quote:

I get it directly from Uddeholm, Sweden. They make very good steel, and their prices are reasonable, wish they would carry O-1 in cold rolled also, or precision ground.
I tried uddeholm but they won't sell to me because I don't run a business:(Quote:
