Here are the specs on my motor. Is it suitable for using the single Phase 115V Fan Speed Controller without damaging the motor?

I'm thinking that I'd like to have a variable speed option on my Craftsman 6/48" belt and 9" disk sander. The motor is 110v, 3/4hp. Can it done? Would I be risking damage to the motor? If it's doable would I keep the original push/pull switch (in yellow) and add a separate rheostat to vary the...

Thanks all, can't wait to get hold of some belts and disks and actually use it.

I've been looking for a belt sander for quite awhile. Not cuz I need one, just cuz I wanted one. I saw this one listed in good condition but non-working. The seller said she's had it for about 25 years but only used it for two then it stopped working. The machine was actually in great looking...

Would like to see somebody include some dimensions or sketches with these projects

"Gas Axe." I LOVE it! :bounce:

I don't know where it came from or who made but do know that I wouldn't want to move it around the room.

Thanks, your input is much appreciated. However old it is I'm happy with it. I guess it isn't everyday that you run into a $5 Snap-On ratchet in extremely good condition.

So today I head out on a pawn shop tool crawl and I come upon a 1/4 drive Snap-On ratchet marked TM 70 B made in USA with a letter E just below the the bottom ring of the handle. The marked price was $19.oo. I ask to check it out and find that it only works in one direction and just spins in...

Gibbs Metal Treatment is great for preserving metal. Sprat it on a metal item and leave it out in the rain over night if you want to and it won't rust.

I guess it must depend on the particular Lowe's. I've always been a Home Depot guy. Things are easier to find, I know they layout and where everything is. But lately everything just seems to take longer a Home Deep. They just don't seem to have their COVID game dowm as well as Lowe's. Plus I get...
