And lower speed is obtained when it is turned in the direction of number 1. This allows the ideal speed to be selected for optimum material processing, i.e. the speed can be correctly adjusted to suit the material and bit diameter. Refer to the table for the relationship between the number settings on the dial and the approximate tool speed.
