Hi Everyone,
I went to use my PC 8529 plunge router today which has very little time on it, and the router speed control is not functioning the router runs sporadically, and slowly.
After looking at the PC website, it looks like the part is not available anymore. Do I have any options to at least make the router run at single speed?
Any help would be appreciated.

speed control
Not a clue about fixing the electronics. But you might try checking the brushes and cleaning the armature.
Thanks, the router is almost brandnew. Its a shame.
You fixxed it faster than we could reply
Good for you! I've encountered the same situation before, and like you described, just by-pass the circuit, and have a single speed router. You generally lose the soft start feature of the router as well, but at least it's better than having a $200-300 paper weight.
Best,
Thanks, I really like to use the router for its dust collection. It is really brandnew even though I have had it for years. I am just glad to get it functional.
