*Considerations for Speed: The speed in which you can move is inverse to the amount of load you are pushing. The higher the speed, the lighter the load. Max speeds are at zero load used normally when returning the stop to the ready position for pushing the next load.
**The truth about accuracy: Your actual part accuracy will depend on a number of factors outside of TigerStop LLC’s control. This includes but is not limited to: condition and type of tooling speed of tooling, clamping options selected for the machine, material types, material straightness and internal tension of the material, feed speeds, temperature and moisture content of product being processed. All these factors will affect your quality and accuracy of finished parts. Also we have found that there are distinct differences in measuring devices used to validate dimensions of finish parts that can affect apparent accuracy. These factors will affect all tools regardless of manufacturer.
