Speeds
Warning:
As with all Mark V accessories, selecting the proper speed
dial setting is important to help prevent damage to the equipment
or injury to the operator. Generally, when using the lathe
duplicator, slower speeds are used for large stock or during
initial rounding operations and then the speed is increased
for final shaping and sanding.
Refer
to Table 13-2 to determine the correct speed for each operation.
