Run this machine

The figures carried across are the builder's maxima — what the machine was built to reach, not what a mill runs it at. The gap between the two is most of the difference between a nameplate and a shift report, so replace them with what your own machine actually does before you believe the answer.

Check against the machine before you buy or budget on it. Builders publish a range and a configuration; the machine on your floor may be a different variant, may have been rebuilt, and may not carry the options these figures assume. This register records what the builder published, not what any individual machine does.
