The manual says 1750 rpm, I find it a little grabby at that speed.
Any thought?

I use mine on the lathe at 450 rpm. Seems to work well. Only been using it for about 3 weeks.

How are you liking it?
So far I am not impressed. But I'll give it a chance.

I run mine at about 1000 rpm, give or take.

I've used it at 1800: works well, but has a pretty high pucker factor. I've settled in at 1200, which takes longer but has a bit less drama involved. I'm not sure anything much under 1000 will get the wax hot enough...might be ok for the tripoli and white-diamond steps though.

"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

I would think that it would depend on the diameter of the piece. The larger the piece the greater the surface speed for a given RPM.

Keith,
so, you can tell that's the right speed when you see smoke coming off the buffing wheel and turned piece?!

Uh, Don? The piece doesn't move, the buffing wheels do.Originally Posted by Don Baer
But yes, I sometimes turn up the speed when using the (smaller) goblet buffs inside a bowl.
