    Just be aware you could lose customers to the guy down the street who has a faster machine, or prices by the job, or... the customer won't care if his previously $100 job that now costs $120 is due to you needing to slow down your machine to prevent damage. Making more money at the customer's expense doesn't make for a happy customer. Maybe you should have worded it "I will need to charge more to make the same hourly profit". But that's not the same as "making more money".

    Keith,
    when I was setting the operating parameters for the first startup with tech support, he set the 100% to only go to 98% power and the lowest that you could go was set at 10%. So even if I set my machine to run at 100% it is only out putting 98% and if you input say 5% it would go no lower that 10%power. The reasoning for this I was told was that the machine would not run as contestant at the far upper and far lower ranges of the power.
    I hope this is of some use for you as I get so much good information from this site.
