There are now 8 IDRA Giga Presses at Giga Texas & More going on inside Casting! Let's Discuss!

This is a continuation of some smaller video clips that discuss some aspects of my recent tour inside Giga Texas. My intent is to try to answer several common & frequent questions I get by viewers & also to pass along some new information!

This video concentrates on the casting machine section of Giga Texas, & I do this via illustrations, maps, historical images I've taken with the drone over the past 3+ years of construction in this area of the factory, & new info I was able to verify during my visit.

Perhaps the biggest news from this video is the existence of now 8 Giga Presses in the casting machine section (six 6K-ton Giga Presses & two 9K-ton giga presses) & the operation of the new furnaces (or kilns) to recycle scrap aluminum & discarded castings.

Many other nuggets of information in this video, so I hope you find this helpful & informative!
