The MC60 is SCR, low torque at low speeds and runs the motor terribly noisy. I
tried the MC60 that came with the treadmill. It wouldn't send power to the
motor until the pot was up to 50%. then it could be slowed down but if the knob
was turned back too fast it'd shut off.
The MC2100 and MC1650 are supposed to be PWM. Many people have successfully
used MC2100 controllers and treadmill motors on lathes, drill presses and other
things.

I've tried to use such,but not very satisfactory. They are scr/thyristor
based controllers, meaning their response to loading or control signals
is too slow for real control due to the effective switching speed of the
drive being tied to the powerline.
