Porting--Elec. die grinder speed

Hello. I bought an electric die grinder for my porting project so the neighbors don't shoot me. I also have pneumatic. The electric is adj. speed, but I need to further slow the rotation. Does anyone know of an inexpensive way to do that, maybe wire in the speed dial from a house fan into the power cord?

I know someone who made an extension cord with a household light switch w/integral dimmer. Just plug into the receptacle with what ever tool you are using for a very controllable speed control.
