Yep, just a regular dimmer, I used the turn knob style. Just be sure and check the amp rating of the dimmer and compare it against the motor you are trying to run.

How many teeth are on the blade you are trying to use on the thin stuff? General rule is you always want 2-3 teeth in contact with the metal at all times, which in really thin stuff is difficult to do some times.
