How do you decide on the speed to use with the various tools?
2000272
I tend to use cutting blades at high speed, abrasives like the sanding tool at lower speeds. If you go too high while cutting wood the tool will burn the wood. The key is to keep the tool under control and move it carefully no matter the motor speed. As you get more experience with the blades/attachments and the materials you are cutting, you'll likely choose the fastest speed that you are comfortable with.This tool really solves problems!

Differnt tool attachments will work good in fast speed or slow. It all depends on what your doing. You will know which speed is best for the project that your trying to tackle once you start using the multi master. I however never use any other speed besides the highest since I have used one for over a decade I have a good feeling of the tool and how it operates on slow or fast speeds, I'm also a bit impatient and like to get projects completed in a fashionable time. Best of luck with what your doing. You'll love the mulimaster!!

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. But there is a dial on the side of the tool that lets you adjust the speed of the tool. You can pretty much leave it at the highest setting color that allows you to cut the fastest., if you are using a wide blade, they tend to flutter a little bit at high speeds, and require you to use a block of wood or tile as a guide. You would also go a little slower if you were using the sanding pads in tight areas.they tend to flutter a little bit at high speeds, and require you to use a block of wood or tile as a guide.

Usually the tool will have the speed or rpm marked on it for safe operation. Exceeding the speed can result in either injury or poor performance of the tool.

With very light load the fastest I ran was 850 mm/min. However it's not good to run so fast. Currently will run at 400 - 500 mm/min depending on material hardness and operation type. It really depends on so many factors however, depth of cut, end mill, etc, etc, including how sharp your end mills are.

Lorraine, I do not think that there is a whole lot of difference between the two models. I own the variable speed version and I happen to use it at the upper end of the speed scale most of the time. About the only time I've really needed to slow it down was when I was sanding some non kiln dried pine and found that the higher speads heated up the wood and the sap began to run (a lot). At the lower speads I was better able to sand the pine without having as much sap run and therefore clog the dandpaper. If you don't want to pay the premium for the variable, I'm pretty sure in day to day use you really won't see the difference. However, my opinion comes from a hobbyist woodworker.

speed can be controlled by trigger pull or by installing an air regulator at the end of the handle. great for polishing.

Hi, No you dont need a lot of setting, it is very simple, you just push on button, each time you to that will change the speed, thats all if you need more information please let us know. Regards ADW69

I really didn't find any variation in speed. I just pressed and released the trigger quickly to give small, quick turns rather than a slow drill. I tried over and over to get a light press, but it was all or nothing for me. I do like it very much, however, for small jobs inside the house when my husband is not available with his bigger, more powerful drill driver. It is just the right size and weight for a woman and household fixes.

Be sure to buy quality tools, such as Wiha, Fluke, Knipex, etc. Don't always go for the cheapest or the minimum. You will thank yourself later.

If you take it slow and allow the tool to do the work. Try not to force it and it should work fine.

For those foods you will likely use the High speed setting. But it is nice to have the variable speed settings. The low settings are much lower than a regular blender which is nice for chopping or if you want to drizzle olive oil into something like a dressing or marinade.

Not sure I understand the question ("...is that so wanted?")--but all I can say is that a display of speed might be useful; however, I do not see it as a necessity. With a bit of experience, it becomes clear how fast to turn a piece.

The biggest difference is the variable speed. If you only use small bits then this is not really a value. Besides large bits, the one place being able to slow the router down that is helpful is routing end-grain; helps prevent burning. Also, the 2.25 comes with a spindle lock button so that you only need one wrench to loosen collet. I personally don't use this feature and prefer to use two wrenches all the time. I have both routers. If you were only going to own one go with the variable speed.

It would depend on whether you were looking to remove a bit of roughness and polish smooth. Otherwise, if you were looking to remove much material, a cup disc would be better but the variable speed of this tool would be nice to have with that too. What are you trying to accomplish?

the 3/8" sanding one on low speed. i do it every 10 days or so, a super great tool altho they don't like the sound of he motor.they love the close contact, just like a hug.vivian

Variable speed = Trigger. "Would this work?" = Probably, however, the correct answer is that I can't really tell you based solely on the thickness of the material. Two other variable exist: the size of the hole and the quality of your bits. Most drills and bits out there can do (1) 3/8" thick hole through annealed high carbon steel, however, if you use cheap bits, and/or the wrong amount of pressure/speed, that bit won't drill another hole. I give that size hole simply because of the chuck size. If you get bits with a smaller shank and larger bore size you can do larger holes.

There is two speeds on regular and one hammer setting. Hope this helps. Great drill also

It has variable speed but bear in mind that the speed is controlled by the trigger. The closer you pull the trigger to the drill body, the faster the chuck will turn. However, If by "true", you mean is there a dial where you can set the exact speed ie. 300 rpm or 350 rpm then the answer is no. This feature is more likely found on rotary tools like Dremels, some drill presses and milling machines. I am not aware of any variable speed hand drills that have scales which would enable you to dial in exact speeds. If exact speed is a necessity, then you might want to research rotary tools, bench tools which have a dial that can be set or tools that have a digital display that tells you how fast the chuck is turning. Additionally, I don't know what materials you plan to drill. This drill's range is 0-550 rpm which may or may not be suitable for your intended purpose. I recommend that you study the numerous drill speed and feed guides available on the web to determine if this drill has the best speed range for your project or whether you need a drill with a higher rpm range. It may also be helpful to do a search of materials, material thicknesses, hole sizes, suggested bit lubricants and drill types to see what tradespeople and manufacturers recommended. You can easily ruin costly materials by drilling them at the wrong speed or quickly dull expensive drill bits by using the wrong bit for the material, exerting too much pressure on the bit or not using lubricant. Talk to people who have drilled the same or similar materials. Ask to see if they have any scrap that you can use for test purposes. There is no single drill suitable for all types of drilling. Br prepared to experiment before finally figuring out what works best for you.

I would suggest at least 4-1/2" or larger in diameter. For polishing I use a least a 7"-9" polisher that is variable speed and runs at the right speed for the material you are polishing. Grinders are too fast for polishing. Some materials require a higher speed but grinders are way too fast for polishing.
