What Sizes And Shapes Do The Off-Cuts Come In?

The sizes and shapes of mild steel sheet metal off-cuts can vary.

They will have been made by cuts from our guillotine, so they will be straight shapes (squares or rectangles).  The exact assortment will depend on the specific off-cuts available at the time of purchase.

How Much Do I Save By Ordering An Off-Cut?

As much as 50% off the standard price per m2. So it is definitely worth having a look if off-cuts are the way to go for your project. 

Can I Drill Through Mild Steel Sheet Metal Without Damaging It?

If you use the right tools and techniques, you can drill through mild steel sheet metal without damaging it. It’s important to use drill bits designed for metalwork, such as high-speed steel (HSS) or cobalt bits. To prevent the drill bit from slipping, mark the spot with a center punch and indent it with a center punch before drilling. Keep the drill bit cool by using a cutting or drilling lubricant. Create an initial groove at a slow speed, then gradually increase the speed while maintaining steady pressure. Ensure safety by wearing protective gear and clamping the metal piece securely and clearing away metal shavings periodically.

Is Mild Steel Sheet Metal Magnetic?

Sheet metal made of mild steel is magnetic. It is primarily composed of iron, which inherently exhibits magnetic properties. It is this characteristic that distinguishes mild steel from other metals, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or copper, which are non-magnetic or less magnetic. A mild steel’s magnetic property makes it suitable for certain applications where this property is essential, such as motors, transformers, and various magnetic assemblies.
