can the speed be controlled?

Short answer is no. You could possibly hook up a variable speed controller but that might burn out the motor - haven't tried this.

No this is not speed controllable, most single phase motors are not speed controllable as they have an internal start switch that is governed by the motor speed, so you can't slow it down or you will burn it up.

Yes you can but you have to have electrical skills. You can control the speed of the motor buy putting a reostate on the power cord. A cheap light dimmer can be used if you have electrical skills. Once it's installed you can control the motor speed which will control the succion.

Perhaps it can be done, but the motors are really not equipped for variable speed control. A really good motor-man or electrician might be able to figure it out. But you might also end up burning up the motor.

You can but is very hard to stop it anywhere except open or closed. The electric motor moves to fast.

There is a dial on the side, you can turn the speed up or down but not off.

You can probably use the on off switch, but you wouldn't be able to control the speed.

Yes. Changing the mode will allow for a "pulsating" mode and turning the knob will alter the speed.

I don't think that you can change the speed to go any faster or slower. The best way to find out is to call the manufacture.

speed can be controlled by trigger pull or by installing an air regulator at the end of the handle. great for polishing.

Yes, but that food pedal is junk! It only makes the drill go on and off doesn't control speed. You can order a pedal online or maybe Sally's that will let you control speed with the pedal

I don't think so...it has a pull cord to turn it on and control the speed (low, medium, and high)

I can adjust the speed with the throttle, yes, by turning it a little or all the way. I vary my speed easily with the right-handed control. The brake on the left shuts off the motor automatically no matter how fast you're going. This is an amazing zippy thing! :)

There is no on/off switch or speed control. It runs by plugging it into the USB port.

It depends what you mean by speed control. A variac would work fine, but that may not be what you meant.

To my knowledge is it not controlled by any sort of sensor. There is an adjustment dial for fan speed but that's about it. I don't think you can turn it off either.

You can set the speed manually, or use one of the automated programs. I always adjust the speed manually. The increments are 0.1 mph.
