Nails are made by feeding metal rods into a machine that forms the nail points with blades; these blades are changed approximately every 600 hours.
Here's a breakdown of the nail-making process:
- Metal Rod Preparation: Metal rods are fed into a nail-making machine.
- Point Formation: Blades within the machine shape the point of the nail. These blades are replaced periodically due to wear.
- Cutting and Shaping: The machine cuts the nail to the desired length and shapes the head.
- Finishing (Optional): Some nails undergo additional processes like coating or heat treating for increased durability or resistance to corrosion.
