Will this control the speed of a grinder or reciprocating saw (power tools)? These tools only have Green/Black/White wires how would you wire?

Sounds like you have an AC tool (probably with a universal motor). This controller is really for DC motors. Perhaps this? -> DROK&reg; Micro AC 110V 4000W Voltage Regulator SCR 110VAC Dimmer Speed Controller Temperature Governor Power Monitor Dimming Monitor

This is for controlling dc current motors. The tools you asked about are ac.

Not really; the trigger does vary the speed some but is not controllable. Great little grinder though.

No problem. Just cut the hot/power side and install the speed controler. I did the same on mine. I use mine as an extractor over my stove. Works great !

Yes, grinder supports 110vac. Unit is not truly air tight since there removalable parts but there is no mess outside the unit while operating.

This is an accessory plug-in speed control unit. I've only used it on small rotating motor type things. It slows them down by adjusting the power. The motor still seems to have been fine just not as fast when the unit is adjusted. I guess I don't really understand the question, what kind of power tool would need to be slowed down while maintaining full power?

You can use a fan speed controller to reduce the speed of an angle grinder. They cost about $25

With almost all power tools, reducing the power is the only way to reduce the speed. Most tools with variable speed triggers like drills or routers, the triggers are just variable resistors that reduce the power to the actual motor. The more you let off of the trigger, the more resistance, and the less power gets to the motor. This does the exact same thing as the trigger on a variable speed drill. One word of caution when using one of these, do not use it on tools with Laser Guides, or other "high tech" electronics. Only on bare bone basic power tools. I used this on my mitre saw with a laser guide to slow the blade speed down so I could use it as a chop saw and cut metal tubing. Well, the laser guide did not like the cut in voltage and after about 5 minutes of cutting, the laser guide electronics literally went up in smoke. Not just a little smoke, holy crap get the fire extinguisher kind of smoke. Needless to say I now have a mitre saw without a laser guide, but it worked great to cut the metal tubing!!!

There is a variable speed control wheel located on the top of the saw. The speed increases as the wheel is turned from a low speed setting of 1 to a high speed setting of 7.

Yes you can use a speed controller on this blower motor. Use one that is rated for atleast two amps or greater. Do not use a dimmer switch designed for incandescent lighting.

Yes, variable trigger with 2 speed gear setting. I love this drill and have used heavily with no issues. My brother has purchased Bosch drills and they are nice but these in my opinion are better. He also bought a new Dewalt one and it doesn't have a variable trigger and does not compare in quality.

Yes it is variable speed. And I have a 120 volt saw plugged into mine. It works fine with that. I would imagine that it would work with anything with a standard US plug. Best check with your particular machine first though.

I've used this grinder to cut 1/2 in Hardiebacker when doing bathroom remodels. I use a cutoff/wafer wheel which isn't ideal for this use but it works. In my opinion it had adequate power but the fully charged battery lasted roughly 20 mins of almost continuous use (I cut about 4 sheets for a tub surround). So, to answer your question, I know it will cut concrete with a diamond wheel, but if I needed to use it continuously for an extended period of time I'd go with something corded which is the case with most battery powered saws/grinders. I hope this helps.

No, Yes I use mine with a scroll saw to start and stop the saw. Any variable speed control would have to be part of the saw itself.

Yes. As others have stated, the speed is controlled by the "trigger", the torque by the ring by the chuck. If you are drilling with a large Forstner or spade bit, be mindful of the power of the drill to hurt you should the drill snag in the hole.

It is variable speed for any device that is variable speed. I have 2 dremel tools. One has a variable speed up to 10,000 RPM. If I set the switch to 10,000 and use the foot pedal - I can control the speed. My other dremel is a single speed and when I use the foot pedal, it just starts at that speed. I could not answer "ANYTHING" at 110v. I believe that would be best answered by my first description above.

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

a 3" wire wheel has a max. rpm of 20,000. Makita die grinder has 17,000 rpm but personally I wouldn't use a wire wheel on a die grinder.
