While it may be economical to purchase a full length of steel, often the offcuts go to waste.
With Edcon Steel you have the option to order any custom-cut metal or steel length that you require.*
For each product, there is a minimum cut length of 15mm, and we have the tools and capability at each store to complete this for you.
Because smaller lengths are more cost-effective to ship, we recommend entering the cut pieces you require into the shopping cart (even if they add up to an entire length), and requesting a quote before placing an order.
This way our sales team can review the enquiry and nest the cut pieces into the full length (and apply more economical full-length pricing).
*Note: We cannot supply all products in part lengths. For instance, we will sell small portions of 316-grade stainless but not 304-grade stainless (which we sell in full length only).
Providing our customers with accurate steel cuts in a timely manner is crucial to our business, so we’ve made sure we have the best equipment with a range of cold saws and structural and fully automatic bandsaws at all of our locations.
And because larger saws can damage or deform some of the smaller and thinner materials, we’ve got ‘baby’ bandsaws in every store too. This means we can safely and accurately cut small-diameter brass and stainless steel, as well as thin aluminium and brass flats, angles and channels.
Unfortunately, these “baby” saws are not designed for production runs. If you require small and/or thin product cut into multiple lengths, we recommend using a hacksaw or grinder on site.
We’ve got thousands of steel and metal products available for ordering online. To find the right products for you, you can either navigate through the menu options or use the search function at our online store to find a specific product.
For custom-cut lengths, simply select the ‘custom (cut to size)’ option and enter your required length in millimetres. To increase the quantity of your product, use the arrows to increase or decrease the quantity, or manually enter the amount. Don’t forget to click ‘add to cart’ for each product.
Once added to the shopping cart, you can then easily request a formal quote by clicking the shopping cart icon and hitting ‘send quote’ or place an order by clicking ‘proceed to payment’.
We do all we can to get your products to you as soon as possible. However, when ordering, please keep in mind that we receive considerable numbers of custom-cut orders a day, so all orders accepted prior will take priority.
And, as many of our steel and metal sections can be quite heavy, we often require the use of cranes and/or forklifts to move them around the warehouses, all of which take time.
While we would love to provide a ‘click n collect’ service for every order, please wait until the store contacts you to advise that your order is ready before proceeding to the store to collect. Depending on our existing workload, stock availability and the size of your enquiry, this may be within the hour or up to a week.
After placing your order, you will receive an email containing your invoice and the contact details for the store that will be preparing your order.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email the staff listed on that email who will be able to provide the fastest and most accurate response to your questions.
Customers are often confused about the difference between steel offcuts and cut-to-length products.
Steel offcuts are the pieces left over when we cut a length of steel to size. Sometimes these will be very small or unusual lengths, and so they become offcuts.
The beauty of Edcon Steel is that we don’t just have steel offcuts. We also stock a comprehensive range of metal from aluminium to copper, brass to bronze.
If you are after metal or steel offcuts, you won’t find them online. You will need to come into one of our steel stores in Blacktown, Brookvale, Revesby, Bathurst or Orange and ask one of our friendly staff members for assistance. If we have offcuts available, we will gladly help you out at a discounted price.
We also pride ourselves on our level of customer service and the depth of our local market knowledge. Our experienced staff will provide insight and support on all of our steel, metal and industrial products.
Whether you are in-store to browse the range or pick up an online order, our staff are on hand to answer any questions you have about our full range of products and services, so feel free to contact us for your steel or metal solution today.
