[modeleng] Re: Plasplugs diamond wheel

My tile cutter, using the same type of wheel - but not a Plasplugs - runs at
2800RPM directly driven by a 2-pole synchronous motor.

Subject: [modeleng] Plasplugs diamond wheel

When I was in B&Q the other day I picked up a Plasplugs 150mm dia diamond
wheel from the odds and ends box at a very reasonable price. This is a tile
cutting wheel and I intend to make a tile cutting machine from various bits
and pieces in the workshop (if only to delay the bathroom tiling!). My
problem is I don't know what speed to run the wheel at since the packaging
of the wheel gave no clue. The wheel is of the solid type with no slots cut
in the periphery of the wheel and the lower part of the wheel runs in a
water bath. Can anybody give me an indication of the sort of speed I should
aim at?
