That's still a pretty poor C channel.
It begs the question - how much crappy C channel is there that they built a special machine to mostly straighten it?
Probably didn't build a special machine. Just take any 6 to 9 stations roll form machine capable of forming at least 1/8" sheeting. Change the rolling dies to suit the task then straighten the C channel.Quote:

New products in the western world are built using all new materials, ‘new products’ in the eastern world are not. Think about that the next time you’re looking at spending your hard earned money on a new bit of equipment.
This is how the Chinese get the "Dreg" in Tofu-Dreg construction...
