Crop Shear

Fit a blade set by right-clicking it into the nest, then right-click stock against the throat: one stroke crops one finished piece off and hands back the rest of the piece at the same gauge. A piece already started cannot go back through the Rolling Mill, so finish every cut on it before rolling what remains. Shearing needs no heat at all, only drive, so a cold cut is legal and simply asks more of the line than a hot one would.

See Rolling and the forming shop for what each blade set yields.
