* Note

  • Finish of material is directly related to the feed and speed of your machine.
  • No steel made will stand up if the feed rate is too slow or too fast.
  • The heat generated will make knives dull quickly due to incorrect feeds and speeds.
  • Too many knives at a slow feed rate will also create burning
