I totally disagree with this statment. I used to use an 8 RPM motor and I was always having trouble getting a smooth finish. Since I went to a 36 RPM motor, my finishes have been glass smooth. My personal opnion is that the faster the better, as long as you are not flinging finish all over the shop. I know that a rod builder that lives near Jack Hise told me he spins his rods at 100 RPM when he finishes them. I guess the bottom line is, do what feels right for you!!
