Permissible cutting thickness
004775
The thickness of material to be cut depends upon the
tensile strength of the material itself. The groove on the
die holder acts as a thickness gauge for allowable
cutting thickness. Do not attempt to cut any material
which will not fit into this groove.
Cutting line
The notch in the die holder indicates your cutting line.
Its width is equal to the cutting width. Align the notch to
the cutting line on the workpiece when cutting.
