I believe that beast was designed for metal. there was a shop near here that at one time made custom railing, doors ect. They had one similar to this one. Would cut 1/8" steel.

They were built for cutting steel rule dies.

Not the steel rule but the plywood or Bentlex the steel dies were mounted in.

Years ago I had steel rule dies made. Such a saw was used to make them. We used steel rule dies for die cutting items like door hangars, boxes and many items. Those were the good old days.
