 Speed Control - with a table/bench saw
OK - another off the wall brainstorming question.
Wondering about using one of those external speed controls with an old Delta 10" bench saw. (one of the little basic models that go for about $99 these days)
The point would NOT be to run it at slower speed ---
But simply to soften the startup.
Since it is direct drive and the case is lightweight -- even bolted to a table it gets a bit of a jolt when first powered on.
Thinking that would be minimized if I could start it at low RPM then 'rev' it up.
Any of you electronics wizards know what damage I might be doing to the motor or the switch in this scenario?
YES -- I know the BEST answer is to save the money I would spend on the control and put it toward a good belt-drive saw.
What can I say -- I'm a tinkerer. |
