*Maximum thickness for cutting soft metals like copper, gold and sterling silver. The thicker the material, the shorter life of the cutting blade. Other harder metals, including steel, nickel silver, bronze, argentium silver and others, will have smaller diameter limits and will cause increase wear on blades. Always use safety glasses and use lots of lubricant when cutting.
