Adjusting Spindle
Speed
The Model T32536 utilizes a spindle speed dial
(see Figure 19) that allows for on-the-fly spindle
speed changes from 750 to 3200 RPM. Rotate the
spindle speed dial clockwise to increase speed
and counterclockwise to decrease speed.

Always start lathe with spindle speed dial
set at slowest speed setting, and then
choose correct spindle speed for your oper-
ation. Starting lathe at highest speed, or too
fast of spindle speed may lead to workpiece
breaking loose or being thrown from lathe
at a high rate of speed, causing fatal or
severe impact injuries.
Refer to the speed recommendations chart in
Figure 20 to choose the appropriate RPM for your
operation.
