The steel processing industry transforms sheet, rolled or coiled metals into specifically sized pieces. This is accomplished by using a large industrial cut-to-length line (machine). Steel is fed through the machine and then cut to size. Often the steel is cut (or slit) vertically (with slitting knives) and then cut-to-length (horizontally). The maximum thickness of steel that can be processed through a cut-to-length line is 5/8.” For thicker material the shape cutting process must be used. Final cut-to-length steel is used in applications such as automobile manufacturing, airplane manufacturing, tool boxes, file cabinets and more.
