variable speed control

Hi folks.

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?

Thanks

You're Welcome Alex

They are very hard to find you may want to buy more than one and sale the others off to pay for yours.. (hint) :)
