Who changes speeds .. put on fastest possible and leave it there .. I have a VS Delta always stays pinned wide open .. Max speed only 2000 rpm. I learned about changing speeds in shop class ,but we were roughing out bowls,and lamps and stuff .. I noticed my buds get cleaner ,less tear out work on faster lathes . At plug fest PNG was getting clean work on that inexspensive Grizzly .. That little beast cranks 4750 rpm .. I know thats one of my top considerations next lathe I get .. just an opion .. I'm turning a plug ... not a baseball bat .. I have 2 ) 4' powerful lathes .. prefer speed ..
