UDM speed chart?

[imported_Stonecipher]

I've searched but not coming up with much. Is there a chart that equates the dial numbers (1, 2, 3 etc) to RPM's? I read posts of how people were using a polish at this or that RPM, and I don't know what to put my new UDM at to replicate their processes.



Thanks!

I spread polish with the speed on 5 and work it in at 6. No idea what the exact OPMs are. Yes, OPMs, oscillations per minute. That is how DA/RO buffers are measured.

basically you want to use 5 or 6 for most if not all polishes or compounds, Maybe spread it at 3-4 then turn it up, then after working it might turn it back to 4 for a min or so.



Only use the slower speeds for applying wax/sealant
