How easy is it to control the speed of the machine? Does it go fast by just lightly tapping on the foot controller? I need a machine that can go SLOW!

I guess it's normal. I use mine for quilt piecing and I have done some machine quilting on it. It seems to respond according to the pressure you put on the foot pedal. I love it. I have an electronic very high end machine I use for embroidery, etc. but this little guy is perfect for take along and quilting. Hope this helps. Mary

no it seems the machine doesn't work in that sense, at least not for me. They lied about that. I haven't used it since a week after I got it because it's too easy and can not be adjusted. I would not recormend buying this machine...

No this is not speed controllable, most single phase motors are not speed controllable as they have an internal start switch that is governed by the motor speed, so you can't slow it down or you will burn it up.

This pedal has no variable speed control. It is an momentary on-off switch. Push the pedal forward and you have power output. Take your foot off and it shuts off the power. I use mine on my scroll saw so I can keep both hands on my work. Nice product.

No. You adjust speed by the amount of pressure you apply to the pedal with your foot. Very little pressure equals very little speed and 'flooring' the pedal equals the machines max speed.

I have one that I use a speed controller with. In reality for my purpose I really don't need a controller it does not move as much air as I thought. It is very quite though. Very faint hum.

The speed is controlled with a little dial (with speeds 1-10), which is on the side of the motor. I'm not sure about compatibility with a foot pedal. I just know nothing about that.

Its has a setting on the controls for training but for everyday use in full gear not sure if it would be ideal. You can choose the pace you would like to run at manually from the controls but if your doing 'intensity training', this is one of the controls on the panel. The machine will make you work, for it changes the speed automatically after a certain period which makes it interesting and makes you stay alert when using the weight-loss or intensity training options.

I always use mine without the foot pedal. The only difference is you have to manually turn it on and off, but that has not been an issue for me. Plus, it works great!

The base goes up and down (only about an inch or so) from side to side. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice. While it's vibrating, you can add to your workout by doing squats, arm pumps, even sit on it and do leg lifts. Several variations of exercises are shown in the operations manual. Good workout of joints and muscles, especially for those that can't walk very far like me.

Hello Lorin, The controller has a handle with a trigger that you pull with your index finger to increase or decrease speed. It has a wire which has an easy plug in to connect to the track. (It is not wireless.) Thank you for your interest. Model Empire Inc.

To answer you first question, the speed is controlled by a dial on top of the router, the dial ranges in settings from 1 to 6, 6 being the highest speed. On your second question I do not know but why would you want to use a foot pedal speed control.

You can control the speed with trigger. With trigger fully depressed speed set by contoller

Hi Debbi, it only has one speed. I try to compensate for the lack of multiple speeds by sqeezing the trigger in a pulse manner in order to achieve a slower speed.

No it doesn't have a grip to control the speed! It has a foot pedal! It also has a Hi gear to go fast, a Low gear to go slow, and a reverse gear too

The base goes up and down from side to side. Good Vibration action. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice, all while it's vibrating. I needed something that vibrated slowly for my 70 year old mother who primarily uses it. I add squats, and arm lifts and even sit on it to do some leg lifts for my abdomen. Its a good workout for my aching joints and muscles..

Hello, I need a motor to move slow. How slow would it rotate on the slowest speed? Thanks
