You might try a motor speed controller.  HF sells one for twenty bucks
and it will work on most power hand tools since they all seem to use
universal motors.  I bought several of these a couple of years ago.   I
use them for my old single speed jigsaws as well as my 4inch hand grinder.

The only problem with the VARIAC type of motor controllers is that you lose
horse power.

I use a VFD 3Phase Converter and a 2hp motor on my 2X72...ALLLLL sorts of
ways to customize the settings on this unit.

This is where I get all of my supplies for VFD's and the like:

GREAT people over there...

I have a VARIAC if anyone is interested. It is an INDUSTRIAL type...heavy
duty. I can supply pics  for those seriously interested.

Thanks
