    Variable speed 4.5" Grinder

    I converted a $10 harbor freight grinder (brushed) using Klutch stand to use as mini chop saw. I also it converted to use 6" cut off wheel so need to slow it down. I used a simple rheostat (old light dimmer) that I had to slow down & control/ vary speed. Works well. Grinder is hardwired to...
