Please help me to choose a variable speed control for a DC motor
I just got an electric DC motor that came from Graco GM5000 air sprayer. I want to use
it on my belt grinder to make it variable speed. What kind of speed control I would need
for this motor.

Here is the DC motor specs:
2 HP 130 Volt
AMPS 18.0 / Max AMP 40.0
Type DF
Torque 38
F.F. 1.38
Serv. Factor 1.0
Encl. TEFC

Any suggestion appreciated.
Thanks

Check out surplus center in NE... they have a controller that will go to 130
volts... but 18 amps is the big bear and not many controllers I know of will
go to 18 amps.

BUT.. you will probably never pull a full load -- and if you do, just make
sure you are fused correctly so it will blow first
