Advice on working with

materials / Tools / Speed ranges

Use the highest speed when working on steel
or iron with the milling bits.

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.
