Can the variable speed be locked in, or is it trigger regulated?

The speed is trigger regulated. Very light trigger so no problem regulating or running at different speeds

If it's not set to auto then it will stay on the speed it is set to. When set to auto it will adjust the speed as needed.

I am fairly certain that the speed is adjustable but 2 hospitalizations have prevented me fro, using it. I recall a speed adjustment knob on it.

There is a 3 speed selector switch on top of the driver (1-2-3), which would be the same as (Low-Medium-High). Each position is continuously variable via the trigger position, depending on how much you pull it back (slow to fast) regardless of what driver mode you are in.

You can probably use the on off switch, but you wouldn't be able to control the speed.

Variable trigger , but it's not much. I have tool truck one and I'm very impressed with my purchase of the nitro

Variable. It does however have a low and a high switch. The low I think gets you 0-500 rpm and the high is 0-1300. But yes you can have it spin as low as you want by just barely pulling the trigger

Speed control knob is on the output side. Speed is infinitely variable (not insteps)

It Has a variable speed dial, that you can set to a maximum speed, & then the harder you press the trigger switch it will accelerate up to that maximum speed that you dialed in. So it is very useful because you can adjust the speed by 2 settings. Thanks, & hope this helps..........Brian

no trigger lock, but press the trigger once it's on and runs continually , when you press it again it's off then. works just fine.

The Porter Cable PC60TAG Grinder is on or off; not variable speed. You can lock it on for continuous operation.

Yes, speed setting limits max speed. Don't know if it affects torque output as well. May be useful if you have a heavy trigger finger, control is good at any setting.

Variable speed, no, but I wired mine to a standard wall switch, 1 switch turns it on, and "On" on the other switch is "High" and "Off" is "Low" speed, not sure about you guys, but mine went in a large metal building 10 feet off the ground, a pull string wasn't going to cut it.

Doesn't have a variable trigger but I am amazed at how fast it is everytime I use it. I really don't think you would be disappointed if you were to purchase this. It definitely gets the work done.

No. If you want to use the thermostat you just let it do it's own thing, there's no way to control the speed setting on thermostat mode.

Correction! As stated, it IS variable speed via a dial on the side of the instrument. Sorry for the confusion! Apparently, I am what's variable! Sorry guys.

No trigger lock feature, that would defeat the safety intent of the thing only running when you hold the trigger. Not like the old days when they had on-off switches.
