Dimmer switch motor control?
I just made a motor control for my dremel by running a heavy duty extension cord to a 2-gang box. I then put a dimmer switch connected to a plug in outlet in the box. It works great for adjusting speed. But my question to you electrical gurus is, will this damage the dremel in any way? I figured that if you can use it on ceiling fans then you should be able to use it on other things. Also I am going to experiment how well it works on other things like a hot glue gun. Could it work on a lead melting pot? Then you could also melt plastic?
