blade speed
the Model g0555lX offers blade speeds of 1800
and 3100 FpM. speed changes are made by re-
positioning the v-belt in different pulley grooves.
Keep in mind, cutting results are not just related
to blade speed. other factors include: the type of
workpiece, the blade being used for the operation,
and the feed rate.
