So I built an ugly welding positioned type thi g to help weld caps on the end of tubes. Problem is, the gear motor I bought is a little fast. I could do a bunch of swapping pulleys, but I dont have any spares and dont want to waste a bunch of money for no reason.
I know nothing about electrical stuff but have somehow figured out (I think) that I can use a rheostat. Cheap on amazon, problem is, I dont know which one to get. Watts, ohms, etc is all Greek to me.
Any help?
This is the gear motor I have: https://www.surpluscenter.com/Brands/SPG-Co/6-5-RPM-115-Volt-AC-Gearmotor-2051746-5-1770.axd
