The Best Power Tool Speed Controller, Vevor 20 Amp VariAC

[@michaellindsay8934]

When I started in the feeder bowl industry, back in 1973 we used the old blue Variac's to adjust the speed of the bowl. The industry had to move to a small potentiometer and circuit board to save room. By the time you 3 of those on a machine one for the hopper, bowl and inline they took up a lot of room. Now we use a lot of REO controllers whitch a ton of different features. Thanks Catus

Vevor really makes some oddball stuff at chinese prices.

[@peckerpeter2078]

Says these are UL listed?? I’ve been looking at these types, there is a china made one that’s 100% identical but red color! Would be nice to buy U.S.A made plus UL listed. Like you pointed out wording is wrong plus wrong size cord for amp rating. Is the cord copper? Many don’t know only use 100% copper wire, don’t use any of that copper clad aluminum garbage or anything that’s aluminum. It will catch fire aluminum overheats. You can’t even go by made in the USA anymore as all of us know everything is middleman and it comes from different countries. Best you get now is made elsewhere assembled in USA …. I’d rather buy it straight from the source as long as it’s high-quality using quality materials plus being UL listed. Does anyone have suggestions for other brands internet’s search engine is highly controlled on what comes up😢

I bought the Vevor Electric over hydraulic pump for my 55 ton press. I just love it! Thanks for the Video! Liked and subscribed...

Thanks for the sub!

I recently purchased the Vevor TDGC2-500VA (with LCD Display) and found that the Dial setting, LCD display and voltage output do not match. EX: if dial is set to 13V the display shows 6V and the multimeter connected to plug output shows 11V. at higher setting, dial set to 117V, display shows 121V and multimeter shows 119V. As per Vevor support "refer to the multimeter for the specific voltage, the device is a coarse adjustment device" So use caution when using and verify output voltage with multimeter before connecting to project. Nice feature being able to adjust motor speed when the tool connected only has on and off switch. The user manual does not state what percentage of accuracy (+ or -) to expect. Otherwise the price is unbeatable and they corrected the spelling of 'Regulator' on the dial. Thanks for the review.

Hey Catus, sooo am I understanding this right? It would not work on my Ridgid drill press? It would be nice to set the belts on a Medium/higher speed and use that to adjust wrather than changing pulleys every time. I also have that ubiquitous Ridgid belt/spindle sander that it may be handy on if it worked. I'm not sure if those are the appropriate motors though? Thanks for the vid!

20A, I first thought that was a typo. But I'm in a 230V country so my Vevor 2000W variac is only 7A 😂

Wow you sure are doing a Bunch of videos on Vevor Products

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Its labled as a 15.3 amp According to your home depot post

[@angieandfidelromero9343]

Can you use that on a drill press or belt/disk sander to change speed? Or do these kind of motors pull too many amps? How you know what kind of electric motors you can use it on when it comes to tools? Only for “hand held” tools? I understand why you would not want to use it on electronics.

[@CatusMaximus]

These do not work on induction motors as their speed is based on frequency not voltage. Voltage adjustment would only effect it's rated power.

[@craziedde]

@@CatusMaximus 1) my assumption is all power tools use induction motor (aka regular motor)? (drill/grinder/router all induction motors?) 2) What will work for those type of induction motors?

Will it output enough electricity to bring a Frankenstein back to Life or My little Brother?

[@CatusMaximus]

You would need one the size of a House for that.

Hello again, Catus Maximus and Tiny Thank you for another Great Video 👍 You my friend are a great teacher. Thank you again 😄

[@CatusMaximus]

Thanks again!

[@roterhund534]

If used on a mag drill to slow the speed down for larger cutters how much would it reduce the magnetic grip?

[@looking_33]

have an old school one of these for my guitar amp. EVH 🤘
