12. Why don't you ask the welders?...

Seems to me, that once the three outside cuts are made, and then the beam is tipped over, with the one remaining edge acting as the hinge, the only way to cut the final edge would be from the inside. No, I don't mean that the welder is standing inside the beam, but that the exposed cutting area is now the inside face of the front of the beam.

Perhaps the hinging of the beam at that lower edge accounts for any "thinning" that you're seeing.
