David, With respect to your question on drill speed, my operator's manual says the following in one place: "Use in accordance with instructions. Maximum speed is 6000rpm." Then in another location is says: "Set the drill press belt for a high speed, but not over 5000 rpm." With respect to your question regarding life of the tool, the manual says: "Cutting action remains the same after sharpening hundreds of times." I've sharpened mine once so far, so I can't tell you how long hundreds of sharpenings is going to last you. There are photocopies of the manual at this website: http://s237.beta.photobucket.com/user/Chipncut/media/Wagner%20Safe-T-Planer%20Manual/44879e0d.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 Chris S. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
