Dayton says not to hook up a speed control switch to this motor. has anyone had bad luck doing so? looking to buy this for a hobby spray booth.

I Don't think using a speed control will cause a problem. Larger AC motors do get hot from under-voltage and lower than normal rotation speed, however, this small fractional motor runs well at all speeds. Bottom line: run the blower at your desired reduced speed and check the motor temperature with your hand. If it is not too hot to touch and hold then all is fine.

I have two of them operating on simple light dimmers and they both work well.

You are correct about the three speed settings limiting the maximum rpm. Please note that the instructions state , "Continuous use in variable speed range is not recommended. It may damage the switch and should be avoided.". The variable speed should just be used to start driving the fastener.

Very fast, it can switch 40 times per second. I think your problem is going to be on the other end. What are you trying to turn on and off 40 times per second? Can that handle going on and off that fast. I use this with solenoid valves and I know they have to long of a delay energizing to go that fast.

this HD switch worked with my 5 HP el. motor powering Dayton twin cylinder compressor (unit 40 plus years old) For 175 psi need 2 stage compressor motor. 1 stage compressor motor will burn out trying to achieve 175 psi

Yes. It is just a momentary on off switch. It has no effect on the variable speed of the trolling motor.

anything can be attached to a speed control. It's basically a rheostat. Kind of like a dimmable light switch. The less power it gets the slower it will go.

No, this is a 120 volt model and does not have a switch to change the voltage. The speed control that came with the unit is also only 120 volt. I believe that there are 220 volt units available though with a different model number.

No. Not in the FD15MWC. If you want continuous running. Two options,Don't install it. You can turn on your fan with the switch or leave it off.Install it with a DPST switch and you can select timed or continuous operation with the DPST switch.Good luck!!

What model is your MotorGuide trolling motor? Is your control the "half-moon" style? The old Lazer models sync he'd up automatically; no DIP switch, no programming. I assume the newer models are the same way. Have you tried the control? Power must be removed from the motor, then reconnected, when switching from one control to another. Contact me at groshartl@gmail.com for further advice.

I got mine upto 12.7 mph on 24v. The motors burned out. I've tried them all and the original PW motors hold up best.

Not sure. I use a speed controller on my router but bought this motor as replacement on my band saw. Don't know why it wouldn't work, but I have not tried it.

I had the same problem and found the controller was not connected well. The battery connections are not very user friendly either. I took the motor and connected directly to the battery and it worked. I then checked power out of controller when I forced a turn on, all worked fine. So, it knew it was a bad controller to motor connection. I kept on messing with the connector , controller to motor, and it finally started working. I am talking about the connection inside the hopper that connects motor to controller.

Yes, the switch is located on the upper side of the motor housing along with the speed control, I use mine in a router table so the one hand problem is not an issue for Me.

The speeds are controlled with one of the pull chain switches. You should not have to buy anything additional. If it is not working it is probably in the wiring.

yes, when removing the motor from the "gear" as I mentioned do not over tighten the "screws." I had to "adjust" the pull down to the proper level so the motor would work "pulling-down" when it hit the pull down switch lever., I had to take the "gear" off several times to adjust.

This is a variable speed motor. I am very rough on the motor, and it's really taken a beating. I love it! I recommend getting the MinnKota 60 amp breaker as well to protect the motor.

On the bottom of page 2 of the instructions that came with my blower it states "These blowers are not recommended for use with any type of speed control devices." The instructions do not state what would happen if one did.
