    • Did and would buy again
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
I bought this switch before a few years ago and use it almost every day with no problems. I used it with a plastic electric box. The outside of the switch is slightly smaller than the plastic electrical box. I sealed it with a thin rubber gasket, it makes a good fit and looks good. A thin bead of cocking would work too. I cutoff about an 1/8” from the edge of the box to make the switch sit down a little without doing this your switch might not work. I changed the mounting screws to 8-32 about 1” long ... show more

    • Best emergency shutoff switch I’ve found. Works with both 110/220.
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
This switch was bought for my lathe as more of an emergency shutoff. I liked it so much that I bought 3 more for my other equipment. Wires up easily but you need to search for terminals to fit if you are wiring for 220, which I did. I used 8 AWG wire, a pvc weather proof box and pvc pipe to run it into my cabinet. With the wire I used the switch was a bit difficult to install into the box. You will need a riser to make the box deeper. Other than that it’s been a very good addition to my lathe. I push the on button with my finger and turn it off with a bump of my knee. ... show more

It is likely that this switch was not intended to be mounted in a single gang box, but rather for a manufactured purpose such as a drillpress, bandsaw, tablesaw.. where the receiving housing size would be engineered for a proper fit. Wiring is easy enough, follow the wiring diagram. From your power source (LINE), install the LINE hot (black) and neutral (white) leads on the side labeled "LINE" and do the same for the leads running to the motor on the LEAD side. Very simple, yet this is missed by some. If you have green leads, they will not attach to the switch, but should be tied together, connected to a metal ground item, motor mount, ground point in a metal box, etc... not to the switch. The mounting screws appear to be metric, and consist of a screw with a lock washer and nut on the back. I have to assume this switch is not really intended to be installed into an electrical box, but rather into a housing, such as on my Delta bandsaw. While installing this switch, I compared it to the Delta switch and the only visible difference is the Delta does not have the large STOP paddle. The "box" enclosure on the delta is not a standard electrical box, and this new switch appears to be a perfect fit for such an application. In the case of how I installed it, I discarded the 2 metric mounting screws, and replaced them with standard US switch plate 8-32 x 1.5" screws. Yes, very long screws, but I was going through the switch cover, then plywood, then into a water tight box. A bit of overkill, but it works perfectly. I can not yet judge the durability/longevity of the switch, but it appears to be well made. The green "ON" button has a lockout hole through it. A lock pin can be inserted to keep the power switch from being depressed, nice safety feature. The ON button must be depressed firmly until a "click" is felt/heard. This is another safety feature of the switch. This is NOT a light switch, for those who complain about how hard it is to push and turn on. ... show more

    • 2 Fails at 3 and 18 months. Needs a deep electrical box.
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
I installed this on a bandsaw using a motor drawing 13A at 115vac and a table saw using 7A at 220VAC. The GOOD: Easy to wire: The switch contacts were labeled on the case making it easy to wire. Works with 220vac. It has 2 throws so one can switch both hot and neutral or both phases of a 220V line. The start button has a very positive detent and the stop paddle works great. Paddle or button: The stop paddle is easily removed for ease of installation or if you just want to use the stop button vs the paddle. Good Value: At only about $11 they are inexpensive. The BAD: Unreliable: I had one switch fail at 3 months and a replacement at 18 months when wired for 220VAC on a table saw. Powertec will readily replace but the hassle of reinstallation is annoying. I bought a spare this time as they are so inexpensive. Deep Body: The switch is deep, too deep to fit a standard electrical box. I purchased a box that was deeper and then there was room for the body of the switch along with the wiring and its connectors. Screws Dont Match Electrical Box. Also the screws supplied do not match the threads of a standard electrical box. One needs to replace the screws with long screws that will thread into box. Screws dont line up with Electrical Box. Also the screws don't align perfectly with a standard electrical box spacing but it is close enough that the screw can get started and eventually snug up. ... show more

Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
This power switch works great. Yes the buttons take a "deliberate" press but that's much better than being able to accidentally hit a button. Be aware this switch is larger than a standard jiffy box and won't fit. I used an outdoor aluminum box with an extension

    • Really good switch
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
This is a good switch for my bandsaw. I bought a used bandsaw that someone had replaced the original switch with a wall switch and cover. That was unacceptable so I put this one on. It is better than what was on this machine when it was new.

    • Good value and makes any stationary power tool safer.
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
I installed this on my table saw and feel much safer now. The on button is sometimes difficult to find, but the off paddle is great. Highly recommend a switch like this for any stationary power tool that may require use of both hands while shutting off the motor. The price is well worth it.

    • Functionally what I wanted
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
First, the item arrived with some of the plastic 'walls' between the terminals broken. This has no bearing on my review rating, as Amazon threw the switch, which is in a thin plastic bag into a padded manila envelope and shipped it off. For shame, Amazon! Package the products you ship so they don't get broken. Still hooked it up with no problems of crossing the hot and the neutral. There are no instructions with this switch. As I have gotten older, it's harder to see black, micro-raised, lettering on a a black surface. I finally found the sides labeled LOAD and LINE. My biggest complaint with this switch is it is large (not the face, but the working components behind the face plate). I got it to fit into a standard outlet box. It was tight, but it worked. The two screws that connect the switch to the outlet box need to be longer. I got them to work, but a longer screw would have made it easier to catch that first bite on the threads. Also, these are just normal machine screws. Typically, the screws that come with an outlet or light switch are slightly tapered at the tip to make it easier to start. I like the big surface for stopping the machine. This switch will be a huge improvement over the old toggle switch that was used to turn my bandsaw on and off. That switch I could not keep tight and when the saw ran, the vibrations would cause the switch to rotate, so off may be down, or to the left. No question with the big red surface on this one. Pro - Ease to shut off machine, which is what I was looking for. Con - No instructions, cumbersome to install. ... show more
