Are you talking about an electric foot feed? Is so, how can that change the speed of an air tool? If not how does it work? I'm lost on this.

hummm haven't used the one for my scrollsaw for a loooong time, can't remember if its a speed control or just an on and off? the one for the foredom is a speed control...and yes both are electric... geez l lost track of what we were talking about here!! you are right, it won't help with the air tool, will just control the motor, the speed of the air tool is still going to have to be manually set....unless there is something out there I have not hear of yet and that is more than possible!

Now you've got it! That's what I'm trying to find out. Is there some sort of Gizmo that will vary the speed on an air driven tool? What is Stacey talking about?

when you find you a peddle, the air line connecks to the peddle then another air line comes out of the peddle then it hooks up to the tool, as you push on the peddle it gives the tool more air, more air the faster it goes i will take a pic of mine and get it posted as soon as i can

Well my Powercrafter came today and I got it set up and running. Didn't get to use it much but it feels like it is 'gonna take some practice to learn how to operate it. I'll keep you posted.
