This is an excellent tool. I've given a lot of use and has not failed. I recommend it. 5 points.

It is not variable speed. I used it for some flagstone and stone veneer. Cut was excellent.

Yes. It has a two speed gear box and a variable speed trigger for speeds of 0-400 and 0-1600 rpm.

I don't remember. Chuck fell apart after a few holes. I do not remember if it is variable speed but invariably it is a piece of junk. Ended up buying a small Makita for 200usd at HD. A lot better - still works.

Hi,I'm not sure of the belt speed but I can tell you it is not variable. Just on and off.

Yes, speed is variable on this model. There is a rotary switch on the handle where your thumb naturally rests that is used to vary the rpm.

it is advertised as 50 RPM. I would not think it is a variable speed but you may be able to find one that they make in the RPM you need

Mine is a 371 and is not variable speed. If I remember correctly when I bought mine there was another model that was variable speed. Maybe it was the 371K. Anyway the thing gets hot with continued use. "Continued" meaning 3 minutes or so. Good luck!

Yes, it can do variable speed. It's a brushed DC motor, so varying the current will vary the speed, & reversing the polarity will reverse the direction of rotation. One can use a traditional analog current controller, or a PWM current controller, which will be more efficient. - bc for AnaV

It is not a variable speed drill. Although if you pull the trigger slightly, it does start slow, but does not have much play.

I think one model has variable speed. There are times when it's useful...but not really necessary

Yes, it is variable. You should buy a PMW controler to vary the speed. But be careful if you need to reverse the motor with a polarity reversing toggle switch. Put the motor leads on the toggle switch, not the power leads.

Mine is definitely not variable speed. I don't know why you would need that feature in a grinder, though. This is the best 4 1/2" grinder I ever have used, and I've used some pricier ones.

One speed. Don't let that deter you from this tool. After two years of using it I've found no need yet to have variable speed. I use it to cut screws, grind welds and with an added disk, sand wood VERY aggressively.

It's variable speed, based upon how hard you pull the trigger. It's a professional grade too. Highly recommend it.

no Nancy, it does not. Also, I used another one, that came from Lowes, which had variable speeds that I liked even better and about the same price. Hope this helps...F

If you mean "Variable Speed Reversing" then yes I believe it is. The manual can be found here: http://servicenet.blackanddecker.com/documents/English/Instruction%20Manual/90565546,DR670.pdf
