Full Length Steel vs Cut-to-Length Steel

Most steel comes in standard lengths such as:

  • 20 feet

  • 40 feet

  • 48 feet

But not every customer needs a full length. That is why Dominion Steel Supplies offers steel cutting services in Calgary.

We can cut many types of steel, including:

  • Pipe

  • HSS tubing

  • Angle iron

  • Channel

  • Beams

  • Plate

Cut-to-length steel is ideal for welders, repair shops, homeowners, contractors, trailer builders, farm projects, and fabrication jobs.

New Steel vs Surplus Steel

When buying steel in Calgary, you may have the option of new steel or surplus steel.

New Steel

New steel is best when you need:

  • Consistent dimensions

  • Cleaner material

  • Larger quantities

  • Material test reports when available

  • Structural or engineered applications

Surplus Steel

Surplus steel is a great choice when you want:

  • Lower cost

  • Shorter lengths

  • Cutoffs and drops

  • Material for farm, welding, repair, and general fabrication projects

Surplus steel can be an excellent value, especially for customers who do not need mill-certified material.
