To me, overheating as it relates to belt speed is only a function of how much pressure is applied (edge to belt) along with how quickly you move the edge across the face of the belt. You could reduce the belt speed by half but if you apply the same pressure and dally in one spot twice as long, you haven't gained anything friction/overheating wise. Just me thinking out loud in thermodynamic terms which I have no right to do.
