Work Smarter with Edcon Steel

Cutting Tips: Tool steel is tougher than mild steel, so use quality blades, slow cutting speeds and proper coolant when sawing or drilling. For a clean result without the hassle, take advantage of our cutting service.

Corrosion Protection: Most tool steels are not rust-proof. Always keep your tool steel lightly oiled or coated when storing to prevent corrosion. This is especially important for O1 and other high-carbon grades. A thin film of oil or rust inhibitor will preserve the steel until you’re ready to use it.

Storage: Store tool steel in a dry area and, for flat gauge plates, keep them laying flat to maintain their shape. Avoid bending or dropping precision-ground pieces.

Choose the Right Grade: Match the tool steel grade to your task. If you’re unsure which grade is best, our team is happy to help with recommendations.

Common Uses and Sectors: Tool Steel

Tool steel is critical in a wide array of industries, from construction to manufacturing. In building and construction, tradespeople rely on high-hardness tool steel for durable hand tools, drill bits, and cutting blades that stand up to heavy use on site. Infrastructure and civil works projects often require custom tool steel components (like punches, cutters or formwork inserts) that can withstand substantial wear and impact.

In the manufacturing and engineering sector, tool steels form the basis of industrial dies, molds, press tools and machine parts that enable mass production. Even mining and agriculture equipment uses tool steel for wear-resistant parts and cutting edges.
