CHANGING SPINDLE SPEED
This model 25-300QC is equipped with an electronic
variable speed controller allowing the user to change
the speed (within the 2 different speed ranges: 170 to
1200 and 500 to 3600 RPM) by simply turning the speed
control dial A. The digital spindle speed readout B will
indicate the operating spindle speed.
Note: Turning speeds vary depending on the size and
diameter of the workpiece as well as which stage you are
at in the overall turning process. When turning a smaller
diameter workpiece, a higher spindle speed is recom-
mended. Proper spindle speed selection comes with prac-
tice and experience and when in doubt always start at a
slower speed, increasing when you are sure that it is safe
to do so.
