The motor runs on standard USA 120 V 60 Hz, 14 A, at 5500 RPM. What's the easiest way to slow down the RPM? What about simply adding a diode in series on the power cord? Any advice, references, and links would be appreciated. Thanks.

The saw is designed to run at a certain RPM and blade size. Changing either is not recommended. I know I didn't answer your question. My response was in the name of safety.
