having trawled the various web sites, all i can find so far is that
the speeds are variable between 8,000 and 20,000 revs, but no
list of the actual speeds as they relate to the speed controller.

of more value maybe is that max bit size is 40mm diameter.

thanks for looking

you would have though this information would be readily avalable

you can of course use larger than 40mm but not on plunge

[engineerone]

i agree about the data, i wonder whether it might be worth ringing hitachi

as for the cutter size, 40mm is actually what they say and in the
faq, the give the impression that is the largest at all times. ;D

I've used an M12V for years. I have no idea what the intermediate speeds, are only it's 8-20000 approx. Take it from me, it'll happily run the largest bits available - ie. panel raisers at around 75-80mm.
