I have the same DeWalt and yes there is a dial on top to control the speed and the trigger can also be used to control the speed [variable speed trigger]. When you hammer down the trigger it will only go as fast as the dial setting and not any faster. I believe it's a 1,000 - 3,000 rpm rotary --- I almost never take it past 1,200 rpm since my paint is kept in pretty good condition.

I have both the PC and the rotary, in my opinion the PC is easier to use (lighter, smaller, easier to manuever) but the rotary is fast and makes quick work of polishing. When it comes to applying the wax I will use the PC because I feel it works the wax into the paint a little better.
