Edcon Steel Tips
These items are only available in 1000mm or 500mm (or smaller for tool bits). We can cut these items to your size if required, but you will need to purchase in these minimum quantities for these products.

Our saws cannot cut tool bits because their hardness exceeds the capability of our blades.

We have access to some of Australia’s most comprehensive stocks or specialty and tool steels – chances are, if you cannot find what you need – we can! Send us your special or tool steel inquiries.
