Can a volume control switch act as a variable control switch for a AC fan motor or a similar motor household only?

Putting a rheostat in series with a motor is not necessarily the best way to control the motor speed. The rheostat works by converting what electricity would have been going to the motor into heat. An audio rheostat would need to be sized appropriately.
Putting a rheostat in series with a synchronous motor that is found in some fans is not particularly good, either. Since the motor is phase-locked with the alternating current would simply make the motor turn with less power at the same speed until it starts 'tripping over itself'. That leads to overheating.
A better option is to use a solid-state motor controller. That delivers full voltage to the motor but rapidly cycles on and off. As you turn the controller up the power is more on than off.

Changeing switch on a craftman tablesaw with a household switch-?
It is not recommended to change the switch on a Craftsman table saw with a household switch. The original switch is designed specifically for the saw's voltage and amperage requirements, ensuring safe operation. Using a household switch may not provide the necessary protection and could potentially cause damage to the saw or pose a safety hazard. It is best to consult the manufacturer or a professional electrician for appropriate replacement options.
Is there a way to wire a 3 way household dimmer switch as a 2 way dimmer switch?
You need a three way switch to control lights from two locations. The name is misleading. Three way switch refers to the connection points on the switch. You can use a three way switch as a single switch as long as you place hot wire on the brass screw and the use any of the other screws for the return hot.
