    Variable speed Motor

    Well i would start with a small 4 pole 3 phase induction motor and a vfd and run it up to 80 hz so that will give you the 2000 rpm and at say 20hz will give you 560 rpm or so….do you need to go down to 0 rpm?

    Have I bought a tool with a 240v plug but should be 110v?

    Yes in all likelyhood its definately a 110v model and its the speed control thats protecting the motor from burning out ( which a 110v run on 240v will do ) Put a 110v plug on it and test with a site tranny Ian
