I would prefer to purchase a variable-speed, low-range grinder but the one I really like (Makita GD0810C), 1800 - 7000 rpm, is no longer available. So I'll end up getting one of the conventional tools that run up to a no-load speed of 20,000 rpm. I need to step this down with (preferably) [u]a simple variable power supply w/ a "rheostat" control on it[/u]. Does anyone know where I can find one "ready to go"? Some devices I've seen advertised spec out as so many #937; and such-and-such power (e.g., 500W). The tool I have in mind is 4.3 load amps (500W). To be clear, I'm imagining something I simply plug into and that has a rotary control on it. A suggestion and weblink to a vendor would be excellent. Any help is appreciated.
