SPEED CHANGE

Your machine is supplied with a 5-step motor pulley and a 5-step spindle pulley that provide spindle speeds of 3000, 4000, 6000, 8000 and 10000 RPM.

A speed chart, shown in Figure 25, is located on the inside of the front cabinet door for easy reference of the belt position on the pulleys for the five speeds avail- able.

Check machine speed setting before operating. Make sure cutter meets or exceeds speed rating of tool. Figure 26 shows a chart for finding optimum speed range in relation to the cutter size. A similar chart can be seen on the front of the shaper, with indicator lights showing the current speed of rotation.
