Torque available on our Dressing Spindles is a function of the RPM that the spindles are run. In general, the faster that the spindle is run, the more torque is lost. The torque curve shown is fairly typical in shape for our DC MaxTorq® Line of spindles. It will give an idea of the amount of torque lost as you increase speed. This data is for our MTC-112-7C
