Does running the lathe at a higher speed make better finish cuts than slower speeds?
I know we need to run slow speeds for roughing bowls and out of balance pieces so chasing the lathe across the room is kept at a minimum.
Spindle turning seems to run a higher speed (in general) than bowl turning, but I have seen pro turners running high speed for bowls and boxes.
What is it about running at high speed that gives a better result?
