can i use this motor to modify a manual bead roller? im going electric on it! what speed controller can i use to low the rpm?

I don't believe its designed to put a "speed controller" on it. Its designed to run a that RPM. For a slower speed, I would just put a larger pulley/sprocket on it (the larger the slower). The motor IS reversable. A marine, electric, BOAT LIFT controller, wired correctly into the unit would work fine to reverse it if needed....

It's a die grinder. Not made for that. Use a drill with a rotary wire brush. Use a slow speed buffer for buffing with a 5 to 7 inch pad. However, if you have those small rotary buffs from Eastwood - the kind you might buff a wheel or aluminum manifold with, it would be suitable.

I use mine with an electric drill and have had no issues both at low and high rpm. I guess my only concern with an electric drill would be if you had a lot of standing water and had to work while standing in it, but that is not a problem I have had to deal with.

If the wood lathe is 15 or less amps it will slow it down, however the controller is not linear and the 1/2 HP motor may stall before you reach the desired slow speed. This controller is primarily designed to be used with high speed routers that do not have a speed control dial on the router but rather just an on/off switch that doesn't control speed.

NO. That is an induction motor and this won't work with induction motors.This speed controller only works with brushed "universal" type motors.The only way to change the speed of an induction motor is with a Variable Frequency Drive.

I don't see why not, the fan motor has very smooth and tight bearings but I'm not sure if the electric motor can be damaged if you are using a rheostat and I bought a duct muffler to make mine a lot quieter without reducing speed

i used it on a hand grinder. it worked at full speed but at lower speeds it looses a lot of torque.

The MLCS 9400 is designed to reduce the speed of any A.C. motor without harm and it works fairly well. If you want really precise control, buy a real variable transformer, like a Variac, which works great, but they cost more.

To reverse the motor you need to change the wiring. It is easy. Have not thought of using a switch to do it but I guess it can be done. With regard to the speed of the motor I only use it on one speed. Not sure if you can put an in line box (reastat?) to allow for a variable speed motor. The motor works great. I use it to power a sander in my woodworking shop.

I used a relatively cheap controller from china good for 30 amps and 12vdc (requires a reversing switch). I ran a 100 volt dc motor with a full wave bridge rectifier (cheap from Radio Shack)and a variable transformer and it did a good job for speed control for the carriage feed on a bandsawmill that I built. Hope this helps..

Yes. You can chose low, medium, or high RPM spin speed. When I set mine on low and tested I noticed most the corn did not go to far and was much quitter.

Yes, no problem if you have a cut off wheel that can spin at 25,000 RPM.Of course you have to be able to get to the bolt you need to cut off.This unit is on the large size of most die grinders, However being electric it will run atspeed much better and longer then an air die grinder unless you have a large air compressorwith unlimited air available. Hope this helps.

I did the upgrade on my lathe by purchasing the variable speed motor. Upgrade was easy. My only objection is the documentation states the wrist band speed control is an option. I purchase the wrist band but the cable connectors in the new motor do not allow for installation of the small board that comes with the speed control. I spoke with Tekna's electrical engineer and he acknowledged that new cables and connectors would be required to make the remote control work. He referred me to their customer service and I left a message and sent them emails and have yet to receive a response. Otherwise, the new motor on the lathe works well.

That, I could not say. I returned mine as it worked terrible. Sure it buffed the callous so it was smoother but it in no way removed it or even reduced it much for that matter. The roller motor was just too weak even with new batteries.

You should be able to remove the splined speed adjustment lever after moving it to the lowest speed then reposition it a notch or two to the right then replace. This will allow you to reach a slower speed range. The speed is controlled by a variable pitch pully that is positioned by the lever. I adjusted one of mine while not having a working tach at hand the speed seemed pretty slow when finished.

Hi SundancejanSorry cannot help as I don't have the motor. I have the rest of the bits and the drive is the same for the roller section (to flatten dough) and for the parts that cut the pasta (lasagna), so if the motor is a stand-alone unit then it should work fine with either attachment. The machine works very well with the manual crank.

It is not possible to adjust the speed because you will damage the motor. Considering that the connection between the pump and the motor is magnetic, you can adjust the output using a ball valve, so the result is the same, reduction on the flux of the mash
