Advice on working with
materials / tools / Speed ranges
Use the highest speed when working on steel
or iron with the milling bits
20
.
Use a short trial on a test piece to determine the
optimum rotational speed range for working on
zinc, zinc alloy, aluminium, copper and lead.
Use the low speed range for working on plastics
and low-melting point materials.
Use high speeds on wood.
Use the medium speed range for cleaning,
polishing and buffing.
The following information shall be considered as
recommendatory only. Learn by practical experience
