I saw one of these at Quad State and have been recommending them for Ribbon Burner Forges. I did not see if the motor has replaceable brushes (like an angle grinder, the 2 plastic screws usually at the back). If it does not using a rheostat will probably burn it out soon. Would someone check this and post the results?
It's a capacitive start motor, therefore, NO brushes. GROUND the CASE there IS a shock hazard since it is not using a 3 prong AC plug.
(30 years as an Electronics Field Engineer says I have the creds to say GROUND the case!)
