Factors Affecting Performance Product Surface Speed Because product speed has a significant effect on performance (cut, life, and finish), it is important to select the proper speed for a particular operation and work piece. Generally, low speeds are desired for generating very uniform satin finishes, for finishing aluminum alloys without lubricants, and for use on composite or other soft material applications. High speeds are recommended when it is desired to remove or blend surface imperfections.
