Foot Switch, Foot Operated Pedal Controller Power Switch Woodworking Machine Control, 5-ft Cable with Piggyback Plug, Deadman Style

A while back I purchased a Stripmeister wire stripper so I can recycle all the old wire I remove from construction projects. The stripper has paid for itself many times over, but I always wanted to make the task even easier. Before, everytime you wanted to use the machine, you would either have to turn it on and adjust the speed or just leave it running while you got more wire ready. I picked up this foot switch to see if this would change anything, Oh man, what a difference. Now I turn on the machine, adjust the the speed and take my foot off the switch when I need more wire. Then when I am ready, step on the foot switch and start feeding wire, I have easily shaved 25% of the work time off this process so I am making even more money. And the best part is, the motor isn't running continuously, and the on/off switch should last a lot longer. I now use this foot switch on my "wet" tile saw, my small table saw (not recommend for safety reasons) and other e-powered tools that I use regularly in my shop. I will be ordering a few more so I don't have to keep moving just one around all over my shop. This switch works great, is easy to set up, and will help you keep your eyes on your work. This switch is NOT recommended for large power tools pulling more than 10 amps or over 1/2hp.

Works fine. Would buy it again.

At the suggestion of a friend, I recently picked up this switch to use with my table saw. It works perfectly well. You step on the petal to power the saw and remove your foot to let the saw wind down. This proved very fortunate recently as I was cutting some small, thin pieces of wood. I took my foot off the saw and took a step to my right, at which point the table saw kicked one of the cut pieces back into my stomach. I ended up with a bruise and a Lesson, but I had stepped off the switch and the saw was running at no more than 1/3 of its full power when it tossed the wood back my way. This switch was the difference between a bruise and a trip to the hospital. In general I am very careful with the table saw but accidents can happen and the ability to cut power to the saw buy stepping off this switch is invaluable.

Works fine very small. Mounted on a Four by six inch board Requires disassembly to do this

I bought this to use with my stained glass grinder. It works very well and I've had it for over a year. Once you have it it's hard to go back to turn that switch on and off on the grinder.

This is a well built foot switch and is easy to use. Just plug it into the wall socket and then plug your device into the switch. If you have a table saw, this is a no-brainer. The price was very reasonable, but the peace of mind is priceless. I will get one for my drill press next. This is essential safety equipment. Get one and keep your fingers!

Works great. Using this with an electric log splitter that required two-handed operation and put the operator's face way too close to the wood being split!

Works about half the time. I bought to use with compressor for airbrush. Have to step on it several times to get it to work. Would have returned but waited to long to try it out.

I use this foot peddle to run my meat grinder. Works slick !!

My husband uses it in his workshop and loves it!

Ok

Working at the first try.Thank you!

Works great
