40 foot long leaf spring flat stock. Cut to length and rounded the ends of the springs for heavy trucks. Did the same job in one operation that our old shear, press and notchers did in 3. Only worked on a couple of styles though.

It could do that. It's so long specifically to cut 40ft tube(or whatever) and we run flat stock on the smaller machines sometimes. How long ago was this ? We had the first one in America like 3 years ago but I dunno about Canada

Was about 6 years ago but even though it looks the same it could have been an older model. Came from Germany or France or someplace in Europe.

It could very well have been Italian, yes. I don't remember a whole lot about it really. Do recall that the manual was really funny with the translations though.
