I've used the Beall system for two years on a 3750 rpm grinder motor and
I've lost a number of really nice pieces as I lost my grip on them. Over
the weekend I modified an old 1/3 hp furnace motor running at 1750 rpm and
while it stalls out if I put too much pressure on the piece it seems to do a
better job and I can hold the work a lot better. Obviously Beall has a
reason for their recommend speed.

Hi
I am expecting the Bealle finishing system any day now. I have the motor
mounted model comming. What would you experienced woodturners reccommend
for
horsepower and I believe that the RPM should be 1725 or less. It would be
ideal if the motor was not too powerfull so as to stop or slow down rather
than flick the object from my hand.

Thanks
Keith
