I think that the more we turn, the less we change speed... at least while
working on a bowl or such..

I tend to agree. Two speeds roughing, 350 slow until it's round, then 700
inside are about all I use. Still changing belt positions though. For dry
stuff, 700 is the start and end.

I would love to turn at 350!!

For an average bowl (8" - 10") I pretty much rough at 450, turn at 600 and sand
at 450...
I'd love to cut my speeds in half, starting at 225 and going to 1,500... I can't
imagine turning anything at 1,500 or especially at 3,000!
