I think the listing of 100 rpms is likely a situation where they just put specs to suit their needs. My experience with the G0698 was that it had a little hunt in the original 0-3200 or 0-1200 listing of the G0698 specs.....instead or resetting the inverter, they changed the advertised specs to what you now see....100-1200 low, and 300-3200 high, but my lathe will run along just fine at 60 rpm on the low setting and 100 rpm on the high belt setting. I have never put a piece of wood on that lathe that the speed was too high for as it relates to the low speed..........never been an issue whatsoever!
I agree, Bob......at least it sounds like a lot of lathe for the money!
