Yes, it will be harder to master than a slow speed but ok speed wise I am assuming it's 230rpm

Hi
I normally would call 400 rpm hi speed. It will work but I think you will find it will burn the motor out relatively quickly.

Cc and low speed scrubbers are geared differently.

Cheers

Around 150rpm seems be the most suitable
