Hi, will the 1- Harbour Frieght Motor Control, operate 8 AMETEK motors with a rating of 120 volts, 7.6 amps?
AMETEK #115750. This a home garage bench not used everyday.
Thanks,

One router control will at best run 2 motors, think the control is rated for 15A

Ok, could I have 8 switches or maybe even 4 switches wired to each or a pair of motors and turn on what i need in regards to air demand when running the bench? Also where is a good spot to buy the air flow check valves?

You are on the right track.
Its usual to speed control two motors together, then switch in extra motors individually as required.
This gives you plenty of adjustment range, if you drop below 25%, switch one motor out.
If you find yourself above 75%, switch in another motor.
By speed controlling two motors, you never run out of adjustment.
