Hi
I am new to woodturning and have been viewing many videos. The videos are very good for getting a feel of the proper technique for using a gouge. But they never mentioned the the rpm that is being used. For example, they will say 'for sanding use a low speed' or in a bowl or spindle video the will be no mention of the rpm used. What is a general guide line for the correct and safe rpm.
