Example No. 1:
Can you create a bevel of 15x15x45
on 20mm thick material?
For correct setting, you must set the difference between the desired bevel height and the
material thickness on the graduated scale C (position D, Fig. 5.3.2); that is, 20-15=5; so the
scale C should read 5 mm. The table indicates that the graduated scale minimum value can be
7,5 mm. This means the bevel cannot be made because 5 mm is less than 7,5 mm; at this
setting, the total bevel hypotenuse (dimension P, Fig. 5.3.1.0) exceeds the permissible 18 mm.
So the machine may be damaged.
Example No. 2:
Can you create a bevel of 10x10x45
on 15mm thick material?
For correct setting, you must set the difference between the desired bevel height and the
material thickness on the graduated scale C (position D, Fig. 5.3.2); that is, 15-10=5; so the
scale should read 5 mm.
The table indicates that the graded scale C minimum value can be 2.5 mm. That means the
bevel can be made because 5 mm is more than 2.5 mm; at this setting, the total bevel
hypotenuse (dimension P, Fig. 5.3.1.0) does not exceed the permissible 18 mm.
Example No. 3:
Can you create a bevel of 8x8x45
on 10-mm-thick material?
For correct setting, you must set the difference between the desired bevel height and the
material thickness on the graduated scale C (position D, Fig. 5.3.2); that is, 10-8=2 so the
scale should read 2 mm.
The table indicates that there are no setting limits for materials up to a thickness of 12 mm.
That means that the bevel can be made because even if you set 0 mm on the scale and create a
so-called sharp bevel on the plate, the total hypotenuse of the bevel (dimension P, Fig.
5.3.1.0) will not exceed the permissible 18 mm.
