Operation
This machine is largely self-documenting.
Speed Selection
The machine is usually set to cut mild steel, for other materials it may be necessary to change the blade speed.
- The first step is to find what speed is needed.
| |
|---|---|
| Blade sizes and speed settings are found with this tool bequeathed to us by our ancestors. |
Blade speed data are well-documented and may be found from a wide variety of sources. The Do-All has a mechanism on its side panel that is well worth examining. It shows how your great-grandparents did these things. Today devices like this are as rare as they are perplexing.
- Next the user checks the blade speed with the machine running. An indicator is on the side of the machine and reads in feet per minute.
