Cutting Tools for UAE Construction & Steel Fabrication
Structural steel cutting, rebar processing, concrete formwork routing and aluminium curtain wall fabrication — SAN Tools supplies UAE-stocked, ICV-eligible cutting tools for the full construction supply chain.
MIITE 2026 — UAE Construction & Infrastructure Sector
The UAE’s Make It In The Emirates (MIITE) programme has identified construction and infrastructure as a priority sector under Operation 300bn. New manufacturing facilities, steel fabrication plants, aluminium extrusion lines and construction component factories are expanding across UAE industrial zones — all requiring locally-sourced, precision cutting tools. SAN Tools is UAE-registered and ICV-eligible, supplying the tooling needs of UAE construction manufacturers from stock.
Construction & Fabrication Applications
Structural Steel Cutting
Milling, sawing and turning of structural sections (I-beams, H-sections, angles, channels). High-feed end mills and carbide inserts for S235/S355 structural grades.
Rebar & Steel Bar Processing
Turning and threading of rebar ends, threaded couplers and anchor bolts. ISO metric and BSP threading inserts for B500B/B500C rebar grades.
Aluminium Curtain Wall & Cladding
High-speed routing of aluminium extrusions, curtain wall sections, and cladding panels. Amana Tool solid carbide spiral router bits for clean-edge aluminium cuts without burr.
Concrete Formwork Routing
CNC routing of HDPE and phenolic resin formwork panels, plywood shuttering, and plastic spacers. Amana Tool compression spirals for chipboard, MDF and HDPE formwork materials.
Hollow Section & Pipe Fabrication
Turning and end-facing of SHS/RHS hollow sections and structural tube ends. Parting and grooving tools for pipe notching and coupling manufacture.
Anchor & Fastener Manufacture
Drilling, tapping and thread-rolling for chemical anchors, expansion bolts and structural fasteners. Carbide-tipped drills and machine taps M6–M30 for anchor body production.
