HOW DOES IT WORK ON STEEL?

I believe the steel in the description refers to the bit not what it is used on....

So far I've only used it on wood...and frankly it's fantastic. It's only a guess but from my experience it likely does.

I bought the sharpener at the same time as I bought the steel. The steel does such a great job of tuning up the cutting edges that I haven't had to use the sharpener much. I sharpened a couple of small paring knives with it as well as an 8" butcher knife and it worked very well. Make sure you have a good steel like the wusthof 12" and you won't need the sharpener very often.

Yes, it eats aluminum like crazy. Steel a little tougher but I have used it on a lot of metal. Pick up some extra sandpaper disks as it comes with one. I think 60 or 80 grit

Have never tried it on stainless steel, but it is great on silver and GOLD!!

Have not used it on Stainless Steel. Have used it thus far on a number of brass pieces as well as a large oval brass table, and it outperformed all other products I have used (Brasso, Tarnish-X, etc.). I am planning to try it on a silver tea set but have not gotten around to that yet. I can tell you this however: given its performance thus far, I would not hesitate to buy more of it.Hope this helps at least somewhat.

All high carbon steel blades can and will rust. When you are finished using your axe clean it well. I use a little kerosene and a wire brush. Clean all of the dirt and pitch from the blade. Towel dry and apply a light coat of Rem Oil. If you do this it will last a lifetime. Great tool for the money

On the box it has a picture of a piece you can put on it so it will run parallel to an existing feature. Mine doesn't have the piece but I didn't get the kit. I use it on 3/16 plate steel and its straight as long as you keep it straight. I'm not sure how precise it is because its not a big deal for what I've been doing with it. I haven't used it on wood.

It cuts steel very well. You have to buy a steel cutting blade and run on slower speed. It is a great saw .

Have not tried it on anything but metal -- does wonders on stainless steel sinks!!

This is a honing steel. It straightens the edge. It does not remove any steel to speak of, only the thin, ragged areas along a slightly dull edge. It can keep an edge extremely sharp for some time. We are never without a good steel, at home or out in the field. Hope this helps.

It works best on softer, thinner materials. Even on some mild steels it works better as a prick punch.

I have only used it on metals and really like the product. It is better than the product that is sold at the store.

works extremely well on cast iron should work fine on any other bare metal such as wok

My son said you'd have to make sure to have the right head (attachment,) one specifically made for cutting steel. The attachments it comes with are for use mostly on wood. He thinks the motor could probably handle it, but we have never tested this on steel.

I have only used them on softer metals (copper, aluminum), so I have no personal experience with steel, but as they are diamond files, they should work on any metal (harder metals will just take longer to file).

No I don't think it will work with steel cans. This thing is made out of pretty cheap metal and it bent up on me the second day I used it. I got a refund from Amazon and they didn't even have me ship it back. I threw this one away and got a can crusher made by Pacific Precision instead. It's a lot more heavy duty and I'm really happy with it. Though I still don't think it would be capable of crushing steel since it's so much stronger than aluminum.Hope this helps.
