Thanks for the help and advice I've received on this.
As the speed controller suggested by John is quite inexpensive, I'm
going to buy it and try it.
When I take Andrews advice, which I most certainly shall, I can eBay
the old router along with the speed controller.


The simplest speed control is a lightbulb. Wire a holder in series,
with a switch to short the bulb, and put whatever bulb in gives you the
speed you want. Crude, but quick and free.
