Does anyone know what thickest sheet a 3302M can run?

If you do a GOOGLE search for "Ryobi 3302M Sheet Thickness" , the second entry is:

Specifications Ryobi 3302M (and Itek 3985)

and you do not have to wait for a response on this or any other forum.

Thickest it can run without any modifications is 12 point. (0.012 in.)

I operate the 3302m. And I have run the 12 point card.
I have the operators manual. Not in front of me tonite. The measures are all metric in my manual, and when needed, I must calculate to imperial measures.
At college, 25 years ago, a point was 1/72 of an inch. So I surmise, 12 point stock is 12/72 of an inch. Now, a prescisioned caliper, which I don't have, would measure that thickness.
But like the previous dude remarked, you can get the specs off the internet, if you don't have a manual. At this point, I would say that 12 point card stock is 12/72 of an inch.
Calculate that into metric, and compare to the manual specs.

Richard,

You are way of base on the use of "points" in regard to stock thickness. In the US, when referring to stock, especially cover stock, the term turns into thousands of an inch, not 1/72 of inch, which is the meaning of the term in postscript and in measurements of type size. So that for sotck thickness 12 point means 0.012 inch.

This is consistent whit the maximum stock thickness given for the 3302 at the link I cited earlier:
