I inherited an old but very good condition, 1/3hp Baldor Model 612, two-wheel bench grinder from my late father. The motor, wired for 125VAC, runs at 3600 RPM, which for my personal use is way too fast. Half that speed would be much better.
Can anyone please advise me: (1) Is it possible and practical to reduce the speed of the motor without damaging it?
(2) How might I go about it?
I'm not an electrician but have some knowledge of electrical circuitry, can read simple schematics, and have built small projects over the years.
Thanks
