Abstract
A burn table includes a slag removal apparatus operably mounted beneath the flame cutting table and between a pair of spaced apart vertical panels which support the flame cutting table. The slag removal apparatus includes a blade mounted on a support frame, the support frame extending between the vertical panels and moveable between the panels from one end of the burn table to the other. A drive motor is mounted on the frame to drive the frame forwardly and rearwardly, and thereby push the blade along the floor to scrape slag from the floor.
