Hi all
As a newbie to the delights of Variable speed I was wondering what your thoughts were on safe speeds to work with. I know many turners turn very fast and that in some cases its the only way to get the required finish etc but for the most part what kind of speed range do you employ for basic bowls and platters like 8inch diameter 3 inch thick stuff. I set the belt to the higher speed range on the 3520B but (and this is a seperate question) should I work more in the bottom range 50 - 1200? is it better or the motor to have the higher fan speed?
I am totally enjoying the ability speed up and through vibration but I am concerned in light of recent events that I don't, trough ignorance, push the envelope too far.
any help gratefully received
Richard
