Prior to version 1.5.1, a non-electric metalwork bench could be used to make ten elevator shafts for one block of steel and ten copper wires, which was more steel-efficient than an electric metalwork bench.

Uses

Steel blocks are useful in construction, and placing one will produce an achievement. They are also conductive and can be used to transfer electricity through blocks. As the block with the greatest durability, they are useful in the creation of barriers resistant to intrusion during multiplayer sessions, taking over one-and-a-half hours to break a steel block by hand.
