I bought the router speed control from
http://www.mlcswoodworking.com/shops.../speedcon.html

$24 including shipping. In a previous thread, someone said this
device worked better than the one from HF.

I tried it on a Singer 401 sewing machine. Huge improvement over
rheostat control! No "hand starting" even at very low speed.
Making a footpedal control for it is now on my project list.
