New to the board and new to the hobby. I live in Virginia near West Virginia. I'm about to purchase a Thumler model B but I notice there are 2 versions of this unit, a low speed and a high speed. Which is better? What should I get?

I look forward to participating here, thanks in advance.

Neal

The high speed is for metal finishing. Welcome to the group.
