Thread: How do you slow down an electric motor?

Tweet

yep it the same one and it is 3000 on rpm .it will burn wood if you try to sand it them two screws at the top tune in the belt to track see my belt is not very wide they will move when the belt starts to wear in and start to track dif .i know 2 guy s that have the same sander s and you have to play with it some .here a tip leave the side tin cover off till you get the belt to track a fresh belt will cut thru it if track is off. i can tell you i have had the belt sander for some time about 5 years it runs fine .but it a china motor and if you try to slow it down i would bet you will burn it up .just get use to the speed thats where it needs to be .i run 40 grit on the belt .you have to watch it when the belt is fresh. i have had it take 1/8 plate steel eat it and spit it back at me .do not sand any thing that can get thru the air gap from the table and belt
