2.Determine the average final diameter of the workpiece in inches, for the cut to be made.
3.Now use the following formula to determine the closest RPM for the cutting operation:
Note: You may need to rotate the chuck by hand to get the gears to engage.

Diameter of Cut
4.With the calculated RPM, decide on the clos- est cutting RPM to what you need.
5.Make sure the spindle is completely stopped before proceeding.
6.Move the levers (Figure 32) to get the RPM range that is closest to your calculated RPM:
—The range lever selects BLACK DOT = High or RED DOT = Low.
—The RPM Lever selects the RPM within that range.
