I use a 60 RPM motor with a dimmer switch.
this lets me set the RPM to what ever I want.
I apply the finish at about 20 RPM and when I am finished applying the finish I turn it down to about 6 RPM till the rod is set up.
I found that you need different speed depending upon the brand of finish you use.
Dura Gloss LS2000 and urathane finishes need to spin at faster speeds. While High Build finishes like Flex Coat, Crystal Rod Coat and regulas Dura Gloss can use slower speeds.
