Comparing the Nova dvr to a Jet 1642 ??

Hockenbery that's just what I do, but instead of scrolling up through speeds (takes a while on nova) spacing speeds in memory makes getting to the speed needed faster, if I put a large out of balance piece on lathe I select memory 1= 300rpm and scroll down to 100rpm and increase speed until a good speed is reached, if I turn a pen, instead of keeping finger on up button I select memory Chanel 5=2000rpm and take it from there, It sounds very long winded to explain but in use it enables me to get to a wanted speed faster, you really do have to understand how the dvrxp works, you can change speed even though you are on a memory Chanel at any time, if i am on memory Chanel 1=300rpm by hitting the up or down button I can scroll (increase/decrease) off that speed in 5rpm increments at any time.
And no I am not so stupid as to start a large out of balance piece at 300rpm and then go to 500rpm then 850rpm that's a sure way to play "chase the blank"

Hope that explains what I mean (it had better do coz I ain't explaining that lot again :))
