Grace Speed Control
- The Grace Speed Control is a universal foot pedal replacement. It works with many machines on the market.
- The easily accessible setting adjustment allows you to have compatibility with multiple machines.
- With Grace Speed Control, when you switch machines it will too!
The Grace Speed Control is compatible with many DC-powered machines that have a single prong foot pedal plug-in. D.C.-powered machines usually have a separate foot pedal plug-in and a power cord plug in. (AC-powered machines combine the two cords into one plug--these types of machines are generally NOT compatible with the Grace Speed Control).
