Look under General Woodworking link on 11-27-06 and look for Speed Control & Frightening Noises. Read through the messages and you will see the pictures. They helped alot.
Jake: You didn't say what kind of trouble you had with your speed dial. Maybe it was just a build up of saw dust, but it could be a lack of maintenance on the control sheave. I had trouble with my speed dial off and on and as it turned out the control sheave froze up because I failed to oil it. Check your manual and it will tell you how. A couple of drops of oil at the right time would have saved me so time and money.
It was just kind of sluggish. After blowing it out, I oiled the machine and every thing is working OK.
