How to wire a variable speed drill press
Hi,
I was visiting a wood working shop and I noticed that they had rewired one of their drill presses to run the motor at a variable rate. It looked like the original 1HP motor connected to an off switch along with a variable speed switch. The speed changed by turning the switch clockwise and counter clock wise. This sounds like a great idea and speeds up work by not having to keep changing the belt location on the pulleys. Could someone please point out how to wire a switch and motor to achieve this? Any pros/cons that I would need to know. Thanks Alex |
