The grinder appears to have speed control already built in?
yes, it's a 12v dc battery tool shown in the pic, being "powered" by a 120v AC SCR speed controller. Just somebody playing with pictures that doesn't understand the tools/devices in question.
 
From 1953,
See, they got it right in the 50's!
We all need to wear dress shirts and ties to be dignified proper men whenst doing our hobbies!
We are allowed to unbutton our sleeves but not roll them up.
Perhaps hes decided to grind a few out right after coming home from a hard days work at the office while hes waiting for the missuz to serve him supper.
 
Love to get my hands on some of that vintage Craftsman lapidary machines.
They sure made a lot of different types of machines in those days

I see that tie getting caught in the turn table and as his face gets pulled into the machine that can of black carborundum that is balancing on the work tray will go flying.
The wifey will get those stains out of the dress shirt for sure.

I believe thats a Furze safety tie, so good to go.
 
Would the speed control work with this drizzle? Much cheaper than a VFD.

I'm not sure. I'm going to try one out on a bouncy castle blower I'm using on a foundry build. From what I read, these don't produce the most linear control as one would expect from other speed control method, but when it comes in I'll try it out on the drill press and report back.

And $350 for a benchtop drill press (Drizzle? lol?) That's crizzle, Fo shizzle.
 
If you ever need to tap your buddy Moris on the shoulder, You need this.
