[Shop-talk] Need to find a speed controller for a 220v 1hp motor

[eric at megageek.com]

I was lucky enough to score a 26" bandsaw (that is not a typo!)

I got it all set up and working.  The only problem is I can't find a speed 
controller for it.

It has a 1hp 220vac (or 110vac) motor.  The motor works fine, but I wanted 
a speed controller so I can slow it down for metal cutting.

Anyone have any leads?  All that I find on the interwebs are 1ph to 3 ph 
convertors or router speed controllers that can't handle the 1500watts. OR

Note- before I got the machine, I was old it was a 3 phase motor, so I 
purchased this motor controller for 3 phase...

Does anyone know if these can be used on a 220v 1 phase motor?  (and if 
so, how?)
The users manual (and 'super' users manual) are here, and complete...

the page, both are for this unit.)
But I can't figure it out.  It is way above what I thought I knew about AC 
power.
Thanks in advance!
