I would have thought you would want to increase speed for carbide...
The lowest RPM is still about 2X the proper speed for the 3" carbide insert face mill and I've burned up inserts. The top speed of 4000 RPM will remain the same for the 1/8" & smaller carbide end mills.
I also want to get my 3/4" HSS end mills down to a reasonable speed as they are running way too fast for steel. I also have the pump, etc to set up a flood coolant system as I have done on my lathe.
