Sorry I haven’t responded. Spent some time shopping this morning and then sanded on the old Mopar powered Studebaker.
Anyhow, I enjoyed the wise cracks and i’m Reviewing the other useful suggestions. Thanks a bunch. If it draws less than 15 amps, there are some fan controllers available that are all set up to plug in and go.
One thing I was wondering was how these motors are wired. I don’t know much about ac electricity, but there are some motors that can’t be controlled with a variable resistance. Fortunately, today I learned from you guys that all of the shop electric motors can be controlled with a variable resistance—except the compressor and no need to slow 9t down anyway.
