Would this be able to be used on a a/c saws'all saw?I'm looking to slow the speed down lower than the dial that is already on the saw.

It depends. Generally, this would work with most motors, as mentioned by another commenter. There are exceptions. I believe you will have problems using this type of controller on tools that also have some form of electronic speed control built in. For example, soft--start routers. The soft start is electronically controlled and conflicts with the electronic control of the speed control device. This causes erratic operation. I'm guessing that if your sawzall speed is electronically controlled, the answer would be no.

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.

yes if you can find a metal blade with the same size arbor hole, then it will work. just remember it will cut slow because of the low rpm.

I don't think that you can change the speed to go any faster or slower. The best way to find out is to call the manufacture.

Hi Craig, I think it all depends on the chain you're using and not the saw. You might want to go their site to see if it work. Mine works great. I have a 372XP.

I used it to power a 10 inch compound saw and a small oil less compressor, both from harbor freight. The saw does no cut as well as when it is hooked up to normal ac power. A sharper blade would help.

Don't know: never tried, as I have a separate chop saw. If I were thinking about it, I'd check with DeWalt, or at least look at rotational speed; I'd be concerned about the chop saw blade coming apart if rotation were too fast -- or cutting ineffectively if the rotation was too slow.

It will run it, I used it to run a dewalt circular saw. Its a modified sine wave instead of pure sine wave, its not the best for electric motors. Long term tool use i dont recommend.

Depends on the starting current draw of the saw's motor, but I suspect the motor might blow the fuse on the controller which is 15 amps. The startup current of the saw may be more than that.

No don't do it! A dry cut saw turns at a much slower RPM and is able to use this blade. A regular chop saw will ruin this blade and the material. Be safe not sorry.

If the wood lathe is 15 or less amps it will slow it down, however the controller is not linear and the 1/2 HP motor may stall before you reach the desired slow speed. This controller is primarily designed to be used with high speed routers that do not have a speed control dial on the router but rather just an on/off switch that doesn't control speed.

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.

I used this pressure switch on an air compressor where the motor drew only 14 amps and I set the switch to cut off at 172PSI. As long as you operate the switch within the current limits and the pressure is also within limits, then there should be no problems as I see it.

No, but it has a variable speed dial with six different preset speeds to match the speed of the saw to the application.

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.

it can if your saw has a standard t type gauge. some of the older dewalts do not.

I don't see why not. It cuts everything else. It does not have "teeth" on the saw blades so it wouldn't rip the plastic. I think it would work fine for this application but I have never tried it.
