Easy install. Works great.

I mounted this switch to replace the broken one on my old Sears 103 table saw. Saw plugs into the bottom plug on the switch the switch to wall. Why did I wait so long to do this! The Stop button makes it easy to find and stop the saw even while concentrating on the panels I just ripped. Get this one! Heavy gauge cord to wall. No loss of power from small gauge wire here.

I bought/used the switch for my table saw and it was easy to install. But the best part is the smooth operation of the buttons. Many other models out there feel rough in comparison. The "On" button is adequately guarded so you can't accidentally turn it on, but it feels easy to operate when deliberately pressed. The "Off/Stop" button shuts off the operation with a very soft touch. If you place the switch in the right spot you can press against it lightly with any part of your body to stop the operation. I have mine installed between waist and knee height and I can very easily operate it with my leg if need be without having to take my hands off of the work piece.I bought a second one for my router table.

So this unit is designed to go between your tools cord and the wall. So you plug this in then you plug into its output cord. It's in-line if you will. Very simple. You need only mount it to your machine. I chose to shorten the cord to the machine and run it directly to the motor eliminating my stock switch altogether. The placement on my table saw works great as a leg actuated shut off. Super product.

This switch works very well. Originally 40 bucks, Ive seen it for 20 during black Friday and 30 currently.This is one of the very few such switches I have found that has actual PLUG INS. Basically you plug this into your socket or extension cord, then from this switch to your device. Most are actual switches that you have to wire up.This one is also good because it does not have any power limitations. Its 15 Amp, 1875 Watt UNLIKE all the remote-controlled versions. Not only are they power limited but also die with bigger motors that pull a lot of startup current. I guess they use solid state switches instead of a straight up mechanical switch. Dinky ones at that.SO if you want to use this for your Router or table saw or vacuum,, this is the way to go. The cheap-o remote controlled ones WILL die on you... I already had one bite the dust within 30 days, when you exceed their rather pathetic specs (like a 1/4 HP motor max or some such).

This has about a two to three foot female plug and a maybe 8 ft male plug. It's convenient and the cord insulation seems pretty durable. I wanted the cords to come out the top of my switch so I opened the box, lifted the leads, rotated the switch and then put the face plate back on upside down, now the cords come out the top. Just be careful of alignment with the face plate or the buttons will be hard to push. The stop paddle and start button both work very well. Stop paddle has never fallen off and has stopped the tool every time I wanted it to. The switch box mounts to a surface flush with the back using two screws or bolts. Theres no means of side mounting it to an upright leg or stile without it sticking out 4 inches so this is somewhat inconvenient but it's easy to build a bracket to screw it to.

First of all, the delivery was incredibly quick. I ordered over the weekend and had delivery on Tuesday.I was considering a less expensive switch and would have saved about $10. But I'm glad I went with the Rockler switch. The other switch would have required buying an electrical box, screws, and so on. So the difference really wasn't $10 between the two switches. Now here is the key. Installation was a breeze. It took me about 10 minutes. All I had to do was drill two holes and mount the switch. My saw's motor plugged directly into the new switch.The switch works great and solved the safety issue I was concerned with. Now it is very easy to turn my table saw off with a simple knee movement.

Used this switch on my JessEm router table. This was a much better option than reaching under the table to turn the router on for each use, plus it added a nice safety feature of providing instant access to control the router. The switch is very heavy duty and much larger than expected. But it mounted well to my router table and works very well. JessEm should include something like this in their standard router table package.
