Back to the drawing board!!The drill motor has a reverse.
I tried a potentiometer on it but just wanted to make the board smoke

That your big toe???
I tried to use my Moon throttle pedal but my foot is to big.
Maybe I should put it on the market. 
Back to the drawing board!!
Smoke came out of the treadmill control board.
The drill is fine for now.

DON'T MIX AC & DC components!!The drill motor has a reverse.

I was using it to try and bypass the push button control panel. Some interweb searching led me to trying that. This was working on the low voltage A/C side of the board.
This D/C motor may find a different use down the road. It does have way more RPM then would ever be needed.
This Milwaukee drill should have more than enough torque and only 500 RPM max, should work good.

So why don't the drill switch work on the motor direct since it controls drill??? What is the difference??.
That is what I am doing, you can see that I took the switch out of the drill and mounted on the remote pedal.
All the treadmill and potentiometer crap is setting in the corner.
The one my foot is to big for, looks like maybe a Elco
I will build a harness from the pedal to drill when I get the roller mounted to a engine stand.
Next will be to scrounge a engine stand that will fit the build, I have at least three easy to pick from.
I tacked it to a plate that my heel can set on and have control.
James did you let ALL the smoke out!!! It’s real hard to put the smoke back in.Smoke came out of the treadmill control board.

Tooth probably has some DC drive boards out of something like a Impinger pizza oven. Now that I think about it there are other things in the food industry that the parts could be used to make some neat tools. I‘m not the one to do it though,,,,,I had a hard enough time fixing them to do what it was supposed to do!
No I didn't let all the smoke out, I have a lot of experience working on Lucas electrics.
Works, just need to be gentle on the throttle.
a drill with a potentiometer for speed would also help you to control you're throttle...
It is a virial speed switch. The problem is when you load the roller it takes more throttle to get it going and can take off on you if don't back off.
