What is the most common use for a coping saw
Voortman uses a torch nozzle specially made for him. It will usually last between 3 and 6 months, depending on how hot the machine is run. The torch nozzle can be bent almost impossible due to the breakaway head that redirects the torchnozzle. The heat from the gases that pass through the nozzle eventually causes the nozzles to wear out. For $75 each tip, you can get replacement torch tips.
To move the steel through the Voortman's machine, the Voortman needs roller conveyors. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. provides a customized modular system for the machine. The modular system, called the Ocean Eliminator, features in-feed or out-feed powered roller conveyors as well as powered lift/carry cross transfers.
