Does anyone know where I can get a variable speed controller for a router? I have 2 fixed speed routers and for the type of work I have done, fixed speed routers have worked fine. Now I want to use a large router bit and the speed of my routers is way too fast and I need to slow the routers down for safety reasons.
I can get a controller kit that I have to put together my self but I would then need to buy a soldering iron to put it together, and maybe other bits and pieces too, which would make the whole thing too expensive.
Anyone know where I can get a ready assembled speed controller for a router?
Great for routing tough woods, plastics and even aluminum
Plug your router into this control unit & you instantly have a variable speed tool!
Works with any universal AC/CD brush type motor 8 AMPS & under
Input Voltage 220-240 volt capacity
Features: Variable speed or full run
Dim: 4-3/8" L x 2-9/16" W x 2-3/4" H
A must have for every workshop

I'm not sure if a conversion plug would work like it does on other electronics but if it would you can get a speed controller at Harbor Freight for very little money.
The Super PID speed control is very good and maintains a constant speed regardless of router load. It's not cheap and installation does require some wiring at mains voltage but does work very well.
240V as it's made in Australia.
