Setting the RPM on the Model M1001 involves placing the

V-belts on the pulleys as shown in the spindle speed chart

To set the spindle speed, do these steps:

1. Examine the Spindle Speed Chart in Figure 24 to

find the closest match to your needed RPM.

2. UNPLUG THE MILL!

3. Open the pulley cover.

4. Loosen the motor release lever and move the motor

toward the spindle to loosen the tension on the

V-belts.

5. Move the belts to the appropriate pulley

combinations as shown on the spindle speed chart

below.

6. Tension the V-belts by pulling the motor back and

locking the motor release lever (see

Figure 25).

7. Close the pulley cover and plug in the mill.
