I store large sheet goods over head and small peices of good hardwood in a cabinet and under my wall mounted bench. Those peices that are to long for those spots I have a place on the wall as well. My problem is that all my areas are full.
Slower feed rate is correct, but as far as the speed of the blade it comes down to the material you are cutting. I would suggest that you get yourself some of the wood you are going to cut and practice before you start working on your actual work.
