THE HARDNESS OF SOLID WOOD
Our Magnum Shears™ cut a wide variety of products, but
we recommend cutting solid wood flooring no harder than
1250 on the Janka scale and engineered wood flooring no
harder than 1400. See the chart at left for an example of
hardness ratings

Please note: due to extreme variations in wood density, the
Magnum Shear may or may not cut the hardwoods listed.
