There are many types of tools that will cut steel. Band saw blades cut steel bars ad billets into pieces to be fabricated. End mills, gear cutters and lathe cutting tools fabricate the steel into some sort of tool or part. These blades, cutters and tools are usually made from some type of high speed steel. Common grades include M-2, M-4, M-48 and T-15. These steels are formed into a cutting tool with many different cutting configurations, but all of them will include some sort of tooth or cutting edge that has been fabricated to a sharp edge and heat treated to withstand high temperatures created by the friction between the tool and the work surface.
For a more in-depth explanation of high speed steels, their uses and heat treating, see the related link.
