i have a lot of experience on the 1100 watt plate. due to my own actions it is dead. i am getting the 1500 watt plate Monday. can any one give me any advice on this plate? wade i know you use it on a high capacity rig. can you tell what i can expect. do you reduce the heat when it is up to speed or do you run it full speed? i have the ee2. thanks for any help.

1st bypass the controller & get a router controller off ebay. It's just a wire swap to bypass. On my ee2 pro I run wide open, but I believe the 2" model can't handle the heatso you will need to adjust it down after it gets hot.

not exactly sure what a router is but dropped in to a local lighting electrical shop and picked up a heavy duty dimmer switch rated at 1500 watts. Bout 30 bucks. You can set that sucker to hold your pot exactly where you want.

Next time you're at Sears or Home Depot go by the tool department & ask to look at a router.

Router controller is a variable speed device for a router, it will run much cooler than that lamp dimmer."

I run mine at full on my high capacity and it doesnt vary at all, once yo drop down the heat it will cycle though and that will be a problem probably for the smaller unit!
