Band Saw Speeds

My band saw has the ability to run at two different blade speeds (1500 SFPM and 3000 SFPM).  What type of applications would be best for these blade speeds?


I purchased your book on band saws and learned a lot of very useful information.

Some bandsaws are equipped with two speeds so that you can cut a wider variety of materials. The higher speed of 3000 SFPM is for sawing wood and the slower speed is for sawing non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and brass.
