" Now -- is the that the basics starting point for all this sheet metal stuff all the stainless raw material here. Basically an authentic sheet stock comes in various sides of its approving product two -- her legs and stuff yeah. I'll I'll heavy business at this stage here is a fourteen gauge which puts it just a little bit into the -- age at which you atop the and so they put the the protective vinyl stuff. Right on the top side they -- again that's to protect the Shiite politics at the factory. OK now what is it in stainless steel that makes it perfect for food industry and it keeps it from rusting. Well basically stainless steel of rough world so wall -- and hot. -- well thank -- very things and that's what longevity. And it's mostly a nickel alloy with the steel all right got -- what I mean. And -- and and the stainless steel deck it's they have support me on the growth of what you pay for good for the cheap goods like this or might include the it's told her. In the right I think -- it and would go out to beautiful than it yeah. Where do you start these the actual manufacturing process while we -- is. But we -- sheet stock removal this year Arafat. So if this machine simply. -- this year. But it wasn't long blade the whole way for the receive their benefits wealthy. A twelve foot long enough to feel. He'll play and they're referring to a -- here what we faulty water britney's breakdown with engineering from the office. From touting -- determined cut sizes. In the lay on the they're initiative -- their life -- plane that went. This -- got quite a bit away but it takes a moment. Enough for the management. If there's an electrically when. Yes that's what -- call it body -- light wheels were picked up fallen on its. How published thickness of steel -- cut this thing here is the big careful cut up we'll. Watergate capacity full length of the blade under. A quarter inch thickness of steel that's rightfully for the latest quality of life so it doesn't come down flat look more like a guillotine and it got the profound and an ankle. Now stop the system where if we ran across -- So once you've. I'll -- once you've got your your your heat. I don't hear your thin the field what's the next although it I take it over for the layout here on the banks here and put it up right. This is what we call the layout station. -- All right so they just cut -- sheet on the big laid over there and then they're laying out. Basically all the other -- and then and -- the things that have to be done in the fabricated that's right they take this break out. That's right that's me with this image and that would give him notching bending and hole location. That's -- it's a complicated -- get what you're building here he lead based paint right that's correct. And you've got out precisely locate all the bends. The cut all the hold everything else that goes well this is where off thought to have you actually don't forget -- we. -- help but we measure and when the product is finished and all stops will be if we can be very accurate -- Okay then what happens at this station over here well what we do over here hunt area caves and ground poll that's when here possible. So this is dramatic. And it's flywheel race began again out of plywood. Area who bought the homes. OK and then what about back here well what we do over this operation. Is called the plasma cutting. All right so this is how you go about making. Square cut -- cuts. In the interior of the sheet exactly we have no way where you know we've yet. Okay we'll make a cut like an island at the sink cavities cut out -- cyclists. Tuchman on its current and he's just using a little their shots turn out. Wallet on the the the plasma -- basically is super heating it. You see the stainless steel exactly and we have -- on the -- that wheel that's flat. Now I speak. All right so that's an interior cut we've seen holes -- we've seen. Perimeter that's what about what you've been the stuff when that happens over here what this machine called -- right. All right now this is a pretty impressive break. Yes."
" And what are we doing -- it puts the -- putting a role in adults it's -- two step process -- that's around nine degrees they'll hit the second time it'll come around 180 degrees. So that that's how you make the kind of the bulldozers. Circular and -- That's what we call them will vote. -- half circle. You can control how much pressure you put -- with a foot pedal over there at the foot pedal right. -- you raise these these instruments these breaks have been used in the and groupers here and attract voters who have pretty heavy affair -- listening here's the 65 ton break that means it's capable of exerting 65 tons of pressure. Pretty powerful break -- to make -- on. Yeah well I'm really curious to see our order we're we're ready -- That's all the that's I -- all right now look at this as an upside down but this is basically our unit and we -- what we've just learned about how you -- the end abandoned on the break in. Now what about this for what."
" Downloads we've security improving product earlier this one here is a -- slightly from its welded to a galvanized channel for structural and support. Yeah usually on the shelves at all what was construction -- galvanized. Well at the cost saver because it underneath and you don't see it so why waste the stainless steel right and that you citizen and our field weld yes way if you move right over here underneath which channel we have seen. At this table -- to -- that will feel well and on the job OK you have to transported to pieces that's correct OK."
