Hard Metal Explained

Steel doesn't care how good your CAD model is.

Hard Metal Explained breaks down how metal actually gets cut, bent, formed and destroyed in the real world — the machines, the physics, and the hard-won shop-floor detail that manuals leave out.

Every episode takes one thing and explains it properly: why a fibre laser cuts 20mm plate but struggles with copper, what press brake tonnage really means, why your flat pattern is wrong, how a 400kW shredder eats a car. No fluff, no ten-minute intro, no reading a spec sheet out loud. Just clear engineering, tight visuals, and numbers that hold up.

Made for fabricators, toolmakers, engineers, machine operators and anyone who's ever stood next to a machine and wondered how the hell it does that.

New episodes Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
