| | Re: Powercrafter 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. |

| | Re: Powercrafter 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!

Stacey | 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? |
