    Thanks Paul, that's very helpful. If you recall where you picked that up I'd love to read more about it. I don't mind taking things apart as long as I have some guidance.

    I'm not sure I understand this--I believe the Dewalt 618 has a soft start feature and it has variable speed. I don't know what a variable speed box is.
