    • Paddle switch

It arrived in time and it is nice. I hooked it up immediately and it works great. Thanks for the timely delivery and quality part. I would buy this item again.

    • 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

    • Perfect replacement. A little more intent required for ON button than others I've had. I like that.
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
standard paddle switch. Used to replace an OEM switch on my table saw that shorted. Once these mag switches short, they self-sacrifice so...another $20. At first I didn't care for this one as it required a more positive push to turn on. Now, I kind of like the idea that it takes a more intentional effort to turn on the table saw. The off switch works the same as any other paddle - probably because of the leverage of the paddle. In any case, works great, and makes for a quick replacement. ... 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

    • Well build, functions perfectly

Review Image by Dwight Thomas Dwight Thomas
Received the switch in less than 2 days, it came nicely packaged. Originally bought it for my Router table, but since I use my Table Saw more, I decided to put it on the saw. Installation was easy and straight forward. It works well and is well made. I was concerned there would be flex in the paddle when you hit it to turn off, buy it is nice and solid. I have had PowerTec switches on my Table saw and Band saw for years, just no the paddle ones. The paddle is great, no fumbling around when you are shutting the saw off. Will be adding 2 more, one for my router table and one for my band saw. ... show more

    • Worth the added safety provided on a table saw/power tool
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
I put my first one on my table saw 6 years ago and couldn't believe how much safer it made it. Wish I had added it sooner. But the real cost was for the wiring job. I put a large box on the front of the saw making the paddle easily accessible. And I added a 16 gage extension cord so an extension was never needed again. It took a few hours, trips to electrical supply companies for commercial grade electrical hardware, and $25-50 in hardware. Then again, I dabbled in power engineering in college (i.e. you don't have to do all that). It lasted 5 years (3-4 in occasional weekend use and a year of hard use) before it failed. This replacement is an identical match meaning replacement is a simple matter. So I bought an extra one to have on the shelf. But then again, I might find another tool worthy of a paddle safety switch. Looking at the price I can't complain. And I hope I don't have to test it but reviews say the company replaces infant mortality - devices that fail in the first few months. So let's face it, 20 amps / 2 hp creates a quite an arc when it is switched. The next increment in switch technology that could handle this much power can't be afforded by most people. So this is great value for the dollar. And at the end of the day, <$20 for insurance that I don't loose a finger is worth it. Only warning I would give is that it does not de-energize when power is cut off. You need a more expensive / different switch for that. This doesn't matter that much on a table saw where the impact of it being on when you plug it in will more likely give you a heart attack than present a serious safety issue. But on something like a router table where the router is intentionally left on all the time, this could matter. If the switch is accidentally left on, it could power up when plugged in or come back on if there is a temporary loss of power when you are expecting it to be off. ... show more

    • Safer power switch with big STOP paddle replaced my old-school start/stop button switch on my Unisaw
Style: 120V/230V Paddle Switch, 1PC
When I downgraded my Unisaw from a 3HP 230V 1-phase to a 2HP 115V 1-phase, I realized I could also replace the mag start switch with a more traditional safety switch with a big STOP paddle and this one fit the bill perfectly!

I installed this on my very old (1980's) Delta Contractor saw, replacing the toggle switch on the front panel. This unit is now located just below the table extension on the left front side of the saw and is much more accessible and much easier to turn off quickly than the factory switch. I'm very happy with the increased safety and ease of use of this more accessible switch and wish I'd installed something like this sooner. ... show more
