Stubbornness, determination….
Who cares what ya call it, as long as it works !!
Wide Flange or W Shape, don’t call it an eye beam. A36 steel is generally not very difficult to cut.
It wasn’t that the steel was tough, it was the fitting it so the saw could cut it.
BTW, I have always called that style I beam. Never heard it called anything else until now.
I beams were a structural shape used long ago. They are shaped like a capital I with small flanges. Wide flanges have significantly wider flanges, hence the name. W shape because they’re listed as W12x24. 12 is the depth and 24 is the weight per foot.
I understand that the steel industry has modernized and has different product, I understood what Phil said, I would call it an “I” beam too, We grew up calling it that. If it was in any shape that appeared to be shaped in an I. I surmise Phil and me and a few others are plain redneck ignorant…
Nice job kid.
Kinda like Shaq and his girlfriend. IT fit, but it was work.
There are I beams and H beams. The I beam has a thicker flange that tapers out from the web and an H beam is what you cut in the video where the flange is uniform in thickness thoughout.
W applies to everything of the general shape.
On WF or Wide Flange beams, in addition to being wider, the flanges are straight. I beams have narrower flanges that are tapered like structural channel. H beam is a wide flange beam that is as wide as it is tall.
