Hello, I am in the process of picking up parts to build a knife grinder. I just managed to pick up a 4HP 22V motor. Its quite heavy and large, so I would prefer to have a speed controller then move the motor to switch belt locations on pullies. I found this on Ebay and was wondering if something like this would work.

I was looking at VFD's but are quite expensive and have no need of changing the voltage in my shop. There are ones from asia that are cheap but look used as well.
Also wondering if there are any people around the Edmonton area that have a lathe that makes wheels for knife grinders.
Thanks a bunch.
Dave
