Well, If I'm not mistaken, you have a DART 125 controller in you stash
of stuff. that can be fed from a pot, or a micro or PWM from a PC
or even RS485 (or some such) from software.

I have a couple HF trim routers, both plastic bodies and the older all
aluminum bodies.

I have been using the DART style on a treadmill motor on my lathe for
some time now.

I have not hooked one up to a trim router.

I guess I would like to know if there is really any difference between
a trim router and a treadmill motor that would make an SCR driver
work or not work.
