I have the Ryobi vertical bandsaw approximate cost $99. I have a hack saw style blade 28+- teeth. At the speed the saw moves it doesn't cut for crap, burns wood, heats up metal. And before I get flamed yes I know you shouldn't use a 28 tpi blade to cut wood in this thing. However, I would like to be able to slow down the speed so it operates more like my portable band saw from Milwaukee. I tried a router speed control from Harbor Freight, but the band saw must have a soft start as the speed control didn't work.
Any ideas how to slow this thing down?
