Pre-set speeds (F1 Non-ferrous, F2 Carbon Steel, F3 Stainless and F4 Tool Steel)
The NOVA Eclipse comes equipped with several pre-set speeds, namely five pre-set speeds for four different materials. To select a profile, press
the corresponding F key on the Input Controller until the desired profile appears. For example, if you wish to select the "Stainless Steel" option,
simply press the F3 key until Stainless appears on the screen. The correct Blade Speed (FPM) will be set, a new minimum and maximum speed
limit will be set depending on the profile. The speed can be adjusted using the Speed Knob to further increase or decrease the cutting speed.
Note: The motor speed is calculated using the Motor Pulley Position ("M.Pulley" in the menu) parameter in the menu, therefore you must make
sure this parameter (HIGH/LOW) match the actual pulley position on your machine.

Making proper tooth selection
For maximum cutting efficiency and lowest cost per cut, it is important to select/use the blade with the right number of teeth per inch (TPI) for the
material being cut. The material size and shape dictates tooth selection. Determine what chart is required (square/rectangle solid, round solid, or
tubing/pipe/structural – see below). Read TPI next to material size in charts below.
