im learning, and trying to buy a belt grinder in my price range. im looking at frames with and without motors, vfd's, ect., and may end up buying these components in stages. i want variable speed. thats for sure. i dont know that much about electrical. so, neither the KBAC 24D or 27D will run a single phase motor? i was getting the impression from another guy that with 115vac from the wall to a single phase motor, i could just get a dimmer switch from home depot to control the speed. ive since found a deticated "vari-speed" switch online, like a dimmer switch but with heat-sinking fins. but would the dimmer switch not be as smooth of power delivery? be jumpy?
i dont need fancy but i do want a smooth belt speed. id like 2 horsepower as well and about 3500 rpm max. energy effenciy isnt a priority. any suggestions? like you said, VFD's are a new invention. what did people do before to vary the speed on these 1-3hp motors?
