I'm not clever enough for all that.
okay im interested in this. Wont the lead goin to the brushes be to short to cut and go to a switch? They are usually very short from the motor to the brush. Not alota extra lead to tap?
The main reason I was asking about it, Is that I've never had a Foredom in front of me.
I have one of the HF motor kits ( maybe 10 yrs old) and a couple of the knock-off dremal kits.
I've got low hours use on the HF unit, mostly for de-cating weedbeater muffs and misc handy-man stuff or other farting about.
The foot pedal of the HF has worked fine for the HF unit & the Dremal knock-offs.
As scarr52 said, Setting the top speed on the motor and then running a foot pedal is the way to go!! (I easily do that with the variable spd dremal k-o & the HF foot control)
but I could always dig out My variac and plug the HF into it and use the pedal
The dremal knock-offs and the HF unit were both involved in a little of my port wallowing of the PB-500 blower.
All of that long windedness means I don't know how hard it would be
to get at the proper wires inside of the Foredom units.
(exploded view parts diagrams, just don't always tell how poor the access is
in something)
IF, (a big if, with my budget) I could somehow get hands on a rt angle head,
I'd love to do a bit of messing about in some cylinders.( some lathe work also)
Would really like to look for a bit more 6300~8000 range grunt for the leaf blowers.
Larger diam air tubes need the torque in that rpm range.
