Any experience with the stand-alone router speed controls? I have a 2-year
old single speed Bosch 1617, love it and I don't want to replace it. I
would, however, like the capability to control the speed and the stand-alone
controllers look like a good investment.

Only concern - Is any compromise on the router motor,or internal circuitry
from a reliability standpoint? I don't want to cook my Bosch.



I've got one - I was going to stick it in a table and run some of those
really big panel-raisers, but never got around to actually forking over
the cash for the panel-raiser. It works well enough - I have also used
it with a belt sander, and my jointer has a universal motor, so I've
used it with that, too. The only thing I'd imagine you have to watch
out for is the amperage draw of whatever you're plugging into it.
