- Summary
- COI synopsis: The most efficient way to deal with a problem is not always the most expensive or complicated. Good business sense is at work in today’s programme, with simple but excellent solutions to very different problems. Have you ever considered how solid sheet steel is cut? With difficulty is the answer. Conventional metal cutters look rather like sewing machines; but you can’t crumple steel like material in order to change direction. A new machine simply cuts through the problem, with a circular cutting stud that bites through the metal from underneath.
