Drilling or Milling Speed
Before any operation, set the spindle to a correct running speed. The operating speed range for
working is 0 to 2500rpm.
To find the correct speed of running you will have to consider the size of the working face and
which material you are working with. Generally, you can use higher speeds for softer materials
or small holes, and vice versa for harder materials.
Refrain from operating above 2300rpm, when working with wood. For metal you can operate the
machine from 0 to 2500rpm.
