Those should work just fine on steels, Ed. My guess is that you're just not feeding them anywhere near hard enough.
Throw a piece of steel in the chuck, say 1" diameter. Set the spindle speed to at least 1000 rpm. Set the cross axis feed rate to .004" feed per rev, and stand aside when you engage the clutch.
You'll get nice little curled chips!
