Tdub4ever Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I'm hopin' some of you experienced scrollers can help. I have a Ryobi SC164VS with variable speed and an old Craftsman 24" 2 speed. I'm wanting to maybe somehow take the variable speed off the Ryobi and put it on the Craftsman. Like mentioned the Craftsman is 2 speed, too slow and too fast! On the high speed the blade breaks every time. I'm thinking if I hook everything up the same way it might work, (but I know nothing about them) it just works in my head. So if anyone has any ideas I would be thankful!

heppnerguy Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Don, not sure about exchanging the speed control on your two saws, as I am not that savvy about that kind of thing. but I am pretty sure you can find a foot control that is also a variable speed control. I am not positive because I do not use a foot control but for some reason I think that is how they work. If so, I think it would be a lot easier way to go. I know someone else with way more knowledge than I have can verify or correct my input here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
