Dave Prokop: Good morning everyone. I'm David Prokop with Metal Forming. We are standing in front of the Schroder Power Bend multi. This is one of the newer machines to the industry. It is an incredibly flexible folder, much more so than what any other offering can provide in terms of the flexibility on the parts it can bend. Um, one of the unique aspects of this machine as it kind of follows along, Shruder's whole concept of having the absolute most capable product on the market, is the ability to do things with the folding beam that no other machine tool in the world can do. We can actually use the folding beam in conjunction with the rotating clamping beam, the hem. This is the only machine on the market that we can do a full capacity hem to what the machine can bend, which is 14 gauge over a 12 and a half foot length, 13 and a half foot length, or 14 gge over a 10 and a half foot length. As you see right here, we've preformed the bend for the drip edge on a slope, and we've used the folding blade to close that hemp.
