Makita Speed Dial Changing

A couple weeks before this thread started I actually had the opposite problem @cyberreefguru had while using an Amana RC-45711 90° Insert V-Bit. I was running at 3 on the speed dial when vibration cause it to climb up. I managed to quickly get over to it and found it was already at 5.5 and climbing faster and faster. I dialed it back to 3 and then had to hold it in position for the next 6 minutes while the V-carve finished. This gave me the idea to engineer a more permanent and robust solution …

I have had it on my Makita since day 1 and haven’t had any speed dial creep issues.
