I found a variable speed controller from Harbor Freight that states it will work for 15amp and below motors. In a demonstration video, the fellow is using it with a router table. The Baldor is not in front of me to look right now, but I also have a slower drill press I can use when I get the wheels.

Wish I could make a trip to Montana for one of your classes.
