As this will be my first post please take it easy on me🤣 I am doing a DIY project involving a corded power drill motor that I would like to mount horizontally. I was wondering if it would be possible to mount an On/Off switch along with a variable speed controller, such as a light dimmer to replace the trigger mechanism. First off I have found some videos showing the dimmer idea on youtube used for drills and dremels. But this is achieved by locking the drill trigger all the way down and then adjusting the knob to the speed desired. I would like to replace the trigger with just an on/off switch if possible or is it even safe. Any help would be much appreciated. Kyle
