No. Run it at the highest speed for ALL wood. Slow for metal as
another poster told you.

I finally received my brand new King Industrial 14", Assembling went
great
and everything seems to be really well done.

There's 3 speed on that saw 735, 1470 and 2350 RPM. In the manual, no


blade

speed. I guess the speed will depend on the type of wood and the blade
width. I've googled around and didn't find an answer for my question. So,


is

there a rule of thumb on which I can base my speed settings ?



Metal slower, wood faster.
