 |
Threaded rod cutters are made from steel. | |||
 |
Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. Sometimes other elements are added as well. | |||
 |
Steel is appropriate for tools because it is hardwearing, weather-resistant and strong. | |||

 |
Hardened steelThe dies on threaded rod cutters are made from hardened steel. This is a process of heating the steel to improve the properties and make it stronger. |
|||
 |
It is important for the dies to be hard as they are the part of the tool that is doing the cutting. Their usage could wear them down quicker if not hardened. | |||
