Device for cutting structural steels

A device for cutting a plurality of workpieces in series, the device comprising:

• a support frame;
• a cutting mechanism having a stationary cutting member and a movable cutting member, the stationary cutting member being fixedly coupled to the support frame, the movable cutting member being movably mounted on the support frame in side-by-side abutment with the stationary cutting member;
• and
• an actuating mechanism interconnected to the movable cutting member, configured to move the movable cutting member between a first position and a second position,
• wherein:
• the stationary cutting member with a first set of plurality lateral openings of a circular shape arranged in a linear arrangement thereon that are configured to function as a plurality of cutting heads;
• each of a second set of plurality of openings on the movable cutting member is in alignment with a corresponding opening of the first set of plurality of lateral openings on the stationary cutting member in the first position defining single passages capable of receiving workpieces therein, the second set of plurality of openings comprising openings of oval shapes, wherein each successive opening is of a larger size than a previous opening;
• and
• the stationary cutting member and the moveable cutting member adapted and positioned to shear the workpieces one after another as the movable cutting member moves from the first position to the second position.
