Rules of Operating Speeds
Detailer’s Grip Attachment
The best way to determine the correct speed for work on any material is to practice for a few
minutes on a piece of scrap, even after referring to the Speed Dial Settings tables. You can
quickly learn that a slower or faster speed is more effective just by observing what happens when
you make a pass or two at different speeds.
When working with a scrap piece of plastic, start at a slow rate of speed and increase the speed
until you observe whether the plastic is melting at the point of contact; reduce the speed slightly
to get optimum working speed without melting the workpiece.
Certain materials, some plastics for example, require a relatively slow speed because at high
speed the friction of the tool generates heat and causes the plastic to melt.
Slow speed operation (15,000 RPM or less) is usually best for polishing operations using the felt
polishing accessories, delicate wood carving and fragile model parts. All brush applications
require lower speeds to avoid wire discharge from the holder. Allow the tool to do the work for you
when using lower speed settings.
Higher speeds are better for drilling, carving, cutting, routing, shaping, and cutting dadoes or
rabbets in wood. Hardwoods, metals and glass also require high speed operation.

Removing the Detailer’s Grip Attachment
1.
Plastic and materials that could melt at low temperatures should be cut at low speeds.
Soft wood should be cut at high speed.
Aluminum, tin, copper, lead, and zinc alloys may be cut at any speed, depending on the type of
cutting being done. Use paraffin
or other suitable lubricant on the cutter to prevent the cut
material from adhering to the cutter teeth.
Remove the nose cap A from the end of the tool and set nose cap aside. The original nose cap
must be reinstalled when this attachment is not used (Fig. 1).
Place handle B over housing collar C with the handle in the desired position and securely
tighten the handle B with the nose piece D that’s provided with handle (Fig. 2).
Make sure detailer’s grip is fully secured before using tool.
Hold the handle B firmly and twist the tool until the nose piece D is loose. Remove nose piece
D and handle B from housing collar C and reinstall original nose cap A (Fig. 2).
