Can you tell me if there's an accessory type plug-in speed control unit for power tools that will cut the speed, but not the power? Thanks

Yes. You plug the tool into the controller and the controller into the outlet.

This is an accessory plug-in speed control unit. I've only used it on small rotating motor type things. It slows them down by adjusting the power. The motor still seems to have been fine just not as fast when the unit is adjusted. I guess I don't really understand the question, what kind of power tool would need to be slowed down while maintaining full power?

This will work with Induction type motors, it will cut the speed. We used it to cut the speed on a dryer rack, no problem.

With almost all power tools, reducing the power is the only way to reduce the speed. Most tools with variable speed triggers like drills or routers, the triggers are just variable resistors that reduce the power to the actual motor. The more you let off of the trigger, the more resistance, and the less power gets to the motor. This does the exact same thing as the trigger on a variable speed drill. One word of caution when using one of these, do not use it on tools with Laser Guides, or other "high tech" electronics. Only on bare bone basic power tools. I used this on my mitre saw with a laser guide to slow the blade speed down so I could use it as a chop saw and cut metal tubing. Well, the laser guide did not like the cut in voltage and after about 5 minutes of cutting, the laser guide electronics literally went up in smoke. Not just a little smoke, holy crap get the fire extinguisher kind of smoke. Needless to say I now have a mitre saw without a laser guide, but it worked great to cut the metal tubing!!!

I am sure this speed control will change your speed. There has to be a change in power in order to reduce the speed.

Sorry, but I have no idea what the "power gear bypass lopper" is. I can say that a lopper with the rachet feature cut much easier than one without - both being the same length.

Try on here my friend or try http://www.jaykordich.com/. Jay Kordich (creator of the powergring pro) is also on facebook. He is a really nice person and will be more than happy to help you. :-)

It is just a power cord. Your speed control is on the clipper itself. It will work with the one speed or variable speed clipper, but it just provides power.

There is no variable speed, but you could get a speed controler here that could be used for a variety of other tools as well. SE Electronic Stepless Speed Controller I thought that it was a pretty decent die grinder for the price. Not much can go wrong with them except brushes which an extra set does come with the tool.

No, Yes I use mine with a scroll saw to start and stop the saw. Any variable speed control would have to be part of the saw itself.

This pedal has no variable speed control. It is an momentary on-off switch. Push the pedal forward and you have power output. Take your foot off and it shuts off the power. I use mine on my scroll saw so I can keep both hands on my work. Nice product.

I'm not sure my husband needed it for a power tool...I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful

I would not recommend using an AC router speed controller. I have a controller like this, and it works fine on my router, but you don't want to starve a big motor like the Grizzley G2905. Your best bet is to get two 4-step pulleys with 5/8" bore, the sort of setup I see on my Sears bench drill. The motor would best be mounted on a hinged baseplate that has some kind of spring tensioner. It would only take a few seconds to move the drive belt from a higher ratio pair of pulley grooves to a lower one, and vice versa. Your slowest speed (and most power) sees the belt in the smallest pulley segment at the motor end, and the biggest segment at the machine end, which you probably already know.

I think you can check Amazon you might be able to find one. I am looking for one myself. I agree with you the tool is not that great.

it comes with an adapter that plugs in to a standard power plug form you power supply and then reduces it to the smaller one that plugs into the part.... my product was defective and did not work, good luck with yours

The tool have the power regulator, I think it's powerful enough for normal household tasks, not for a machine shop.

i bought an "american 110v" hair dryer. it can be used without any special socket but i cant use it at full speed. It will be cut off in less than 10 seconds of use. can only use the lowest speed of 3 available. i think in long term, it will spoil(burn) the cable. Pity i have to give the iron to a Taiwanese

Can use this one to reduce the speed of a 12 volt 5 amp blower, to 6 or less? thanks

I don't use a speed controller for my setup, but I can tell you that this broke down on me in less than 2 months. If there's a way to check without buying anything new, just tell me and I'll respond back.

i remove the handle and use a cordless drill to trim, i cut and trim 300 Blackout and 22TCM shells from a 556 and works well. i don't know about a power trimmer. sorry

One could always install a Rheostat (just like on a Router Table) and control the speed from "0" to what ever speed it will do. The low speed is plenty slow for turning or polishing anything..............if one desires very, very slow........consider the "Mini Lathe". Just suggestions.
