AND they need to be wearing a brain bucket (hard hat) when working near that machine. One piece goes the wrong way and it'll be light's out for that guy!
Do you think this rebar could practically be put back in use in the very same application again, or would it be better to only use new rebar in making new ties?
Stan, the best is actually to sell the rebar to the next scrap yard - acc. to the scrap metal price in your region, its around 150 to 300 bucks an hour for that. You cant put them back into the process.
I wonder if they are cutting teeth, or a set of hydraulic hammers that pulverize in an in-and-out motion? The steel is emerging straight, not twisted in any way, so I don't think there is anything being cut, chewed or ground.
I'm picturing prisoners being shackled in chairs, being forced to watch hours and hours of this video until they either confess to a crime, or go stark-raving mad.... lmao
