Or the 500 RPM minimum speed.

I get nervous roughing out a 12" bowl at 500 RPM, let alone a 20" to
24" bowl.

yep.. especially as you move closer to the outside edge and it seems
to be going about 1,000 rpm...

I'd love to turn on something that had a low speed of maybe 100 rpm..

Don't you have a Shopsmith? You can get the speed reducer pretty cheap on
e-bay now and then.

yeah... but then I'd have to go back to turning on it.. *g*

Sort of defeat the purchase of the Jet Mini and then the Jet 1442 last year...

Might look into a different motor or a speed control for the 1442 when the
warranty runs out, though..
