A Cut Like No Other
Largest Saw in the Industry Makes the Cut
The new FRIGGI saw at Weber is currently one of just two FRIGGI saws in the United
States capable of cutting 250sq.in/min with 8,000 sfpm and handling material up
to 100"W x 200"L x 60"H in size and 10,000lbs.
The saw also offers unique features such as cutting vertically and horizontally
without having to flip the parts.
Summer Internship Success
Engineers Make the Grade
Weber Metals launched its first full Summer Engineering Internship Program with
engineering students from Cal State Pomona, San Luis Obispo, and Long Beach.
Their excellent performance earned them an invitation back to join Weber "full-time"
upon graduation!

Henry Ford once said; “There isn’t a person anywhere that isn’t capable of doing
more than he thinks he can”; these interns are a true testament to this fact; it
was an honor and privilege to have mentored them.
