Would anyone know how RPM/OPM come into play. How safe or high high of an OPM can I go without damaging paint.

It seems like alot of people run the PC at around 5 or 6 which is close to 6000 Orbits per minute. I happen to have a Buffer that I will want to try. It's actually a random orbit sander that convert with a 6" H&L Pad.

The OPM rating for that unit is 4,000 up to 11,200 OPM. How high of an OPM can I go till it's considered safe. I'm sure alot also has to do with whoever is opearting the machine also...
