Hi,
I've got an antique angle grinder which does not have a soft start - as a result the retainer siezes on and it's a right PITA.
Knowing modern grinders have softstarts built in, is it possible to retrofit a softstart circuit into an older grinder? The grinder is single phase 240 VAC and about 2kW. I've sent Makita an email, but heard nothing back yet.
If it's not something easily built, does anyone know of a module which can be added in from another model? links to part numbers, cct schematics etc? All I've found googling are audio ccts - not single phase power units.
Thanks, Des
