I have a variable speed dremel that fried the speed cotnrol and I by

from old shoe made a foot operated swich that allows for speed control
also. Works good.

Pretty much the only part that can fail on
the control board is the surface mount
triac BT134W, which costs about 2usd..
I've replaced one to my dremel.. Pretty easy.
