I don't know what to do now, I've had this router since August 02, and
over the weekend the speed control burned out for the 2nd time. It's
now stuck on HIGH.

It's now out of warranty (the first time it was a month out of warranty
and Dewalt covered the repair). I doubt they would cover it now, and
the speed control module is about $85 to replace it myself.

What would you do with this router? I'd hate to replace the control
again and have it burn out for a 3rd time... Should I just get one of
those speed controls which go between the router and outlet?

For about double the price of the switch you can get a comparable brand
router. You know the old saying. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice
shame on me. That said, I have 2 Bosch routers 1 is 16 years old and the
other is almost 6 years old and the only problems that I have had with
either unit is with the switches early in the game. Are you by any chance
over loading the router?
