Cutting capacity

The wide vise opening and high pivot point provide cutting
capacity for many large pieces. Use the cutting
capacity chart to determine total maximum size of cuts that
can be made with a new wheel.
Caution: Certain large, circular or irregularly shaped objects
may require additional holding means if they cannot be held
securely in vise.
