Jimbo, that is true, and some blades cut better at a high speed.  You just have to watch how fast you are feeding it.

I use the speed control to make depending on the thickness of the wood and the hardness, it seems to me that some wood cuts better at a higher speed than others
Jimbo

OK so you have found different speeds for different woods!
How about some examples and their thicknesses etc..
Inquiring newby minds want to know?
Thanks

Gabby, the only way to find that out is to practice.  If you want, you can keep notes.  After a while you will know from experience.

Chuck your recommendation make good sense, but that means all us newby's have to plow the same ground. I don't have an unlimited access to the different woods available, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that regard. So if some could share their experiences it would be helpful, which is what I was hoping for when I made the request.
Thanks,

I forgot to tell you about the information I have on my site. Click on Q & A and you will find a lot of help, like turning corners. Let the blade do the cutting.
