I sped it up a bit in the middle, but you can see that he was quick even in the beginning.
At a fab show I saw a machine which made galv. small els - ones used for heating ducts, etc.....this one made up to 5" only, and the machine was VERY expensive. I suppose such a thing exists for the lighter metals but might be too hard to make the ss ones out of......

Oh my goodness I almost thought it was a joke.... We do have a pipe and fab shop local it does look kinda boring.
We have the same machine you can only make about 50 a day.. They make an automated machine but it's around 180k but it's really only rated for 26-28 galvanized..
