Hey FOG, make sure that you start the motor at full speed then dial it down with the speed control. I think if you are going to torch the motor it would be trying to turn the motor on with the speed control dialed down.
Just a thought. I am really interested in how your grinder holds up over time using your set up as it is a much cheaper alternative to a new motor
