DIY Soft Start

"Inrush Current Limiters"

Should be good for a brush-type "universal" motor such as in that angle grinder.
They will run slower and draw less current on lower voltage.
Trying to debug a Miele washer than wouldn't spin the motor, I connected a 24VDC supply and it started running.

Inrush limiter won't work for an induction motor, most likely. Small chance they will, but probably will fail to start.

You could also get a heavy duty dimmer, use it as variable speed control for universal motors.
