BTW there was a small piece of metal screwed into the underside of the cutter head to insure someone doesn't make a cut too deep. Did you remove it for any reason?

Al--
I saw the limiter mentioned in the manual and parts list, but it wasn't present on my machine. Could have been trashed by the PO. I'm typically fairly conservative with my cuts, so I didn't worry about it.
The manual said it was only supplied on single phase machines and reduced the maximum cut from 3/16" to 1/8".
Also, it looks like it only affected the center few inches of the width, so you could take a deeper cut on narrower pieces.
