I bought my PC about a year ago and used it less than an hour when the speed control malfunctioned. I sent it in for service ($35 shipping) and got it repaired. I used it again for less than an hour under light duty and it has failed again. I am interested in removing the OEM speed control and wiring up an aftermarket speed controlled. This router only gets used in a table so this would be more convenient for me. Anyone ever hot wired a router in the fashion I speak of?
