When considering the capacity of a bore machine, what must be done to the total weight of added components?

To understand why subtracting the total weight of added components from the capacities shown on the chart is the correct approach, it's essential to consider the limitations and operational safety of the bore machine.

Bore machines have specific capacity ratings based on their design and structural integrity. These capacities indicate the maximum load the machine can handle safely during operation without risking structural failure or breakdown. When additional components are added to the machine, they increase the overall weight that the machine must support.

By subtracting the weight of these added components from the capacities indicated in the chart, you account for the reduced operational capacity of the machine. This ensures that the machine remains within safe operational limits. If the added weight were not considered, there is a significant risk of overloading the machine, which could lead to equipment failure or safety hazards.

In operational terms, any modifications or enhancements to equipment must consider the original engineering specifications, emphasizing safety and efficiency during usage. This approach helps in maintaining the integrity and reliability of the bore machine during its operational life.
