• 

Use scrap stock similar to your workpiece to find 
the right spindle speed and feed rate so that the 
resulting cut is smooth and requires little sanding to 
finish.

• 

Reduce spindle speed or increase feed rate if your 
workpiece becomes glazed or burned.

• 

Increase spindle speed or decrease feed rate if your 
workpiece shows a rough or washboard surface.

• 

The cutting edges of large cutters travel faster 
than those of smaller cutters at the same spindle 
speed (see 

=`^li\)*). Use slower speeds for larger 

cutters.

The spindle speed is changed by adjusting the V-belt 
position on the motor and spindle pulleys, as illustrated in 
=`^li\)+.
