A guy in a Spokane boatyard told me I was crazy for running my cutterhead at 28 RPM, said it was 'asking for a twist-off'.

Honestly, what's his basis for saying that? Tbh, 28 RPM is pretty standard for a lot of setups if you've got the right torque behind it. Ngl, sounds like he's just repeating shop talk without the actual experience.

Yeah, what's the actual application here? I ran a 28 RPM motor on a conveyor for years with zero issues, it just needed a solid gearbox. The guy might be reading specs without understanding how load and gearing change everything. Some people just parrot numbers they heard once.

How many setups has he actually run at 28 RPM himself?
