Right. But it does give you a surface twice as smooth with half the
resistance,
as if you had used a blade with twice as many teeth.


Correct, however that does not = more control.


Control doesn't come from blade speed. Control comes with practice.


OK, perhaps you have missed the OP question. He wanted to know if he could
use a speed control to slow the motor down for more control. The correct
answer would be NO you cannot use a speed controller to slow down a circle
saw motor.

Feeding slower could give more control if feed rate is the problem. He did
not mention what kind of control problem he was having. There could be many
control problems that feed rate would not correct. Perhaps he is looking
for a soft start feature for better start up control. It is any ones guess.
