Cutting steel is also a form of machining. This is usually the first step in a machining process. We cut the desired length with a slight excess so that the workpiece can be further machined on the lathe or milling machine later on.
We not only cut steel, but also bronze and other types of materials. De Waal has two heavy-duty band saw benches and a bow saw machine. One saw bench even has a fully automatic feed system. Without human supervision, it feeds in a new piece of material each time. This allows us to saw rings for our propeller shaft seals, among other things, very quickly.
