Jimmy,
PWM speed control works really well with 3 phase motors and their associated controllers but you run into problems with brushed motors overheating if they are slowed too much for too long (they all seem to have internal fans for cooling the windings). This doesn't mean to say that it can't be done though, just be aware of any temp rise in the motor.
