Re: Pwm motor speed control
Those things are used by a lot of members and seem to be known as SCR controllers .( Something that annoys the crap out of me as they have a Triac not an SCR in them 
)
But they are not infailable ...there are many stories of these types of controller curling up their toes.
The Chinese clone machine pumps these out and they kinda all look the same ... but slightly different . Hopefully the one you linked to is a good one .

Yeah a lot of people say to buy 2-3 of them for when it craps out on you. I can totally understand why a lot of people choose to go this rout. It's inexpensive, not much wiring, doesn't require additional components and easily replaceable.
I've never used one of those. I've only used Potentiometer & variable SSR with heat-sink, more specifically the Still Dragon kit. I've also incorporated an Auber PID controller in there.
Things have been changing fast in electric brewing & distilling controllers. Auber has a really great electric controller here that functions like a PID controller as well as a variable power controller all in one. These have other features as well. It does require a SSR, heat-sink, an RTD sensor (to monitor temp) and other small miscellaneous components to build a controller. It costs a bit more, but well worth it to make a controller that can do it all.
