loaded in the back of the machine is a master coil up to 8 feet wide.What you see there is various width pieces of tooling to set how wide of a cut we need to make with knives to cut the steel.This thing can take a 60,000 pound master coil and cut it up to whatever we need in about ten minutes.
My job is I put together all the tooling and knives.I setup the cuts.
