Of course I believe you Tim. Would you believe me if I said I actually saw a UFO hovering above the Millville NJ Police barracks? No, really I did, I did.

Although you don't have a problem with DST while in AZ, You do have a problem with the proper time zone. You can edit your time zone in the User CP (Control Panel) The CP can be reached from the red line above, - location, farthest to the left.
P.S. Had to find that place again to make sure. It can be found in the user CP, under "Edit Options", Then you have to scroll down to the time and date options. I had to have Admin help me out with my time issue.
Oh I so wish I did not have a problem with DST while I am in Arizona. I routinely make telephone contact with people in Washington and California, in Montana and North Dakota, in Nebraska and Iowa, in Massachusetts and Mississippi.
Yeah, I'll call you at 2:00 PM on Saturday. BTW which time zone are you in? Are you on DST or no? I have this problem all the time. That coupled with the fact that I can not add or subtract 12 from 19 leaves me late (or early) or whatever all the time.
I think the whole world should convert to Zulu and we would not have this problem at all.

You can thank the railroads for the time zones we now have. Then of course, we can thank Ben Franklin for DST.
There is absolutely no end to what one can learn on this forum. I didn't know the railroads had anything to do with out times zones and I didn't know Ben had anything to do with DST.

Putting all the different speeds on the dial would be confusing and inaccurate. Now why the chart is not a label on the machine is another question. My new machine came with the basic chart and it had a lot more information then just the RPM. The RPM chart was 5% of the chart in the bottom corner. The original chart listed every SPT and mode and many possible operations and suggested speeds in both RPM and letter.
Foe example under table saw they list speeds for Genneral Sawing, Heavy Ripping, Trim custs, dado and ider for Hardwood and softwood. For all the various sanders (disc, drum, belt, strip) they give speeds for both hardwood and softwood.
BTW: Does anyone know what "ider" is I am thinking it is a type for Molder.
Do you have a reference to the speed reducing for metal cutting?

There's an answer to someone who would say that: "what a jerk".
The speed dial and various FREE charts provided by SS have been perfectly adequate for me, probably because I know that virtually every situation, almost every time the Mark V is turned on, is unique, and a speed dial label that covered every contingency would need to be about 5', 7-1/2" in diameter.
Rather unwieldy, that.
No matter what the configuration, be assured that there will always be someone who feels obligated to complain about it.
Cheers!

I measured the rpm of my Shopsmith using an optical tachometer. They are available from Tower Hobbies for a little under $30. They are intended to be used for model airplanes. They measure the speed at which the light changes from the prop passing in front of the optical sensor. I know it is accurate because when I point it at a lightbulb it says 3600 (60hertz X 60sec). To use it just mount the faceplate with a narrow stick screwed to it that extends a couple of inches beyond the edge of the faceplate. Then point the Shopsmith so that the tach will be pointed toward a window, turn off the lights, and begin taking readings while holding the tach a couple of inches from the spinning stick. My Shopsmith was purchased in about 1980 and has the original belts. The minimum RPM was 900 even and I stopped measuring at 5500. There was still a little more to go.
