I have a 1x42 Burr King belt sander, wired for 110 V which I used to start in the knifmaking venture. I have a couple real belt grinders now, but I still want to use the Burr King for various tasks, I just would like to slow it down, how would you go about managing the speed on this bad boy--I asked Burr King, and they wanted to sell me a new motor and a VFD--N not interested--too much $$. Is it doable to just get a rheostat or some simple switch to vary the speed on it? I will try and post some pics of the unit and motor:
