pls. take a look at this. Is it any good, if so could someone kindly give
a specific part value that I could use for other components
not given.
thanks.

Looks a bit unrefined. Check out this link: http://www.siliconchip.com.au/cms/A_6105/article.html
The first link describes the circuit as a AC motor controller which is a bit of a misnomer and might fool someone to think they can run an AC motor other than a Universal type. It is actually a DC motor controller with the bridge present. If you only want to control the Universal hand-tool-router type etc motor, then the bridge can be eliminated and a triac used instead, I can dig up the circuit I have used in the past with components and post it.

thanks guys, I'll be controlling a small
sewing machine motor and/or ryobi ss50 (I got it for $30 CAD, demo).
My way of ordering online is limited to M.O. and it cost me more to do so.
Al,
I'd like to have the circuit if you could find it,
I'll see if could build it then I would.
thanks.

For such small motors you might be able to use a lamp dimmer with a few additional snubbing componets or just use it as a source for most of the parts.
thanks Tach, I'll try it.

For small loads like that (or a Porter Cable Laminate Trimmer) Harbor Freight sells a router speed controller - you can keep your eyes open on ebay or HF's web site for sales - seems like I got mine for about 15-20 bucks. Cheers - Jim
Experience is the BEST Teacher. Is that why it usually arrives in a shower of sparks, flash of light, loud bang, a cloud of smoke, AND -- a BILL to pay? You usually get it -- just after you need it.
Have not tried it but apparently the trick to use a light dimmer as a universal motor speed control is to put a 100 ohm 1/2W resistor in series with a 0.22uF capacitor, across the triac power leads.
This is the zipped circuit in dxf .

....And if you want a more sophisticated controller here is a link ttp://www.onsemi.com/pub/Collateral/TDA1085C-D.PDF
This is also used for treadmills etc.

thanks,
I'm finding lots of circuits now, just
trying to figure which one would be
good enough for my use.
--If any1 looking for (less expensive, that's what they say)solid state relay this
looks interesting.
