The method and apparatus of the present invention utilize an electromagnetic induction-type feeding apparatus for advancing a metal web and pieces cut therefrom. In one embodiment, the metal web is advanced in one direction and cut into pieces of a predetermined length. The cut pieces are then advanced in a direction transverse to the one direction and are again cut to form pieces of a desired size and shape. In a second embodiment, the web and pieces cut therefrom are advanced in one direction only, and after pieces are initially cut from the web by a first cutter, the pieces are rotated in a horizontal plane through a desired angle and are then advanced to a second cutter where they are cut to a desired size and shape.
