Micro motor controller

[Doug Ridley]

I'm looking for a used control box for an extra handpiece I have at a good price. Anybody have any ideas?

Doug ,

Have you checked e-bay or craig list ?

[Doug Ridley]

Yep, ghecked E-bay but not CL.

I bought an inexpensive reostat from Harbor Freight. I've used it to control the speed of my router.

[Doug Ridley]

Good idea.I'll check it out. We have a HF here in Paducah.

Careful Doug,
Micromotors do not operate at 110 volts like a router. These little guys need a power supply of 16 to 24 volts.

[Doug Ridley]

Thanks. I know what I need. Its just finding it at the right price that is the problem.
