How does a furnace multi speed motor work?

Mutli speed furnace motors work on a basis of horse power verses work load. The motor actually contains multiple windings or you could say multiple motors. Each of the windings has a specific horse power rating at a given work load. For example, a 3 speed 1/2 horse power motor is actually 3 different horse powers. High is 1/2 hp - medium is 1/3 hp - low is 1/4 hp. As the motor horse power is decreased the motor will slow down under a given or constant work load. Technically there is no such thing as a multi speed motor but in actuality a multi horse power motor.

What is a machinists V block?

A machinists V block in its simplest form is a block of metal with a V shaped (usually 90 degree V ) groove cut into it ( typically with a small square notch at the bottom of the V running its full length ) It is machined with high precision and usually hardened to prevent excessive wear. It is used to hold materials such as round bar securely while machining it. Imagine placing a round bar on a flat surface and trying to hold it while you try to drill a hole through it. the block may have other grooves to permit secure attachment to the work surface and also to accommodate a horse show shaped clamp to hold the work in in the V
