materials / Tools / Speed ranges
j
Use the highest speed when working on steel
or iron with the milling bits
j
Use a short trial on a test piece to determine the
optimum rotational speed range for working on
zinc, zinc alloy, aluminium, copper and lead.
j
Use the low speed range for working on plastics
and low-melting point materials.
j
Use high speeds on wood.
j
Use the medium speed range for cleaning,
polishing and buffing.

Tips and tricks

Q
If you use press too hard you run the risk of break-
ing the tool or damaging the workpiece. You will
achieve the best results by operating the tool at a
constant rotational speed and using a low contact
pressure on the workpiece.
