What does this mean?

Just getting into machining as a hobby/learning. Was woundering, what does this mean?

End Mill Capacity - 5/8" Face Milling Capacity - 1 1/8

Thanks,
Lane

if that's quoted from a machine spec , then that's the maximum recommended tool size for the machine

ah.. okay man, thanks

It also assumes that you know the difference between an endmill and a face mill.

Some days I wonder if I do too.
