Hey everyone! I'm looking for insights on router table speed adjustment pendants. I found that Rockler has an independent control pendant which allows you to start or stop and adjust speeds without digging into the cabinet, but I've seen some mixed reviews on its compatibility with various routers. On the other hand, I've come across some integrated options from Woodpeckers and Jessem that look promising, but they're quite a bit pricier. Have any of you had hands-on experience with any of these options? I'm looking for real feedback rather than just going for the high-end models because they're appealing. Also, if I consider using Rockler's pendant, I would need a compatible router, so the price range might end up being closer to $350 to $500. Any thoughts?

I haven't personally tried any of these, but I know there are some brands that specialize in motors designed specifically for mounting under router tables, and they offer speed control accessories too. For instance, Sauter's motor is a bit on the pricey side, but it's built for this sort of setup. It might be worth looking into!
Yeah, that seems similar to what Jessem has going on! Definitely a solid option if you want something more specialized.
