Bill, if you reread the original post, you will note that he does not
propose running the DC motor on DC. Brush motors will run on AC, and he
might be able to use a router control, provided he matches the voltages
with a transformer. This could be tricky, though, because it depends on
how the transformer reacts to the peculiar waveform output of the speed
control. Putting the transformer ahead of the speed control could pose
other problems with the triac--I just don't know. And then again, it
might work just fine.


aaah, noted, but a DC PM motor will just vibrate, not rotate, if energized
with AC, hence the presumption of DC
