220V Single Phase On/Off Switch, Briidea Router Table Switch with Large Stop Sign Paddle Easy Contact for Quick Power Off for Table Saws and Other Electrical Equipment

Purchased to fit below my wood turning lathe (around knee height) as the on/off switch is located over to the right on the actual lathe and not easy to get to when turning.With this in place a quick tap with the knee and the lathe shut down :)Only had to use it in an emergency once so far BUT it worked and that was the important thing.Very pleased with it overall, could do with a longer Socket trailing cable but modified it myself (very easy to do) to make it fit where I needed.Purchased two more now, one for my sons lathe and another for the bandsaw.Very happy with them :)

I bought this to use with a DIY router table I have build into a workbench and it has been an excellent addition to the setup from both a safety and convenience perspective. I was able to mount this on the leg of my bench so that I can knock the large off paddle with my knee to quickly turn off the router once I've finished my cut, which is infinitely easier and safer than fumbling around under the bench for the router's off switch when I'm finished with it, I can just leave the router with the switch in the on position and use the on button on this instead to activate it. I have also tested and confirm that this switch has a safety cutout, so that if you suffer a power cut while the plugged in device is in operation, it will not come back on when the power is restored until you hit the on button again.Having the plug sockets built into it makes it way easier to use and more flexible than the numerous other similar items available that require you to wire your device directly in, I'm no kind of expert with electrics so was so much easier to add this to my setup and didn't require removing the plug from my router, plus if I ever change my setup I won't have to do any re-wiring, just unplug and move it. It also means I can plug this in through my shop vac with power take off for easy integration with dust extractionHighly recommended for any static power tool that doesn't already have a safety switch built in

Easy to install and safe to use.

Wanted this as a safety feature on the workstation for my mitre-saw, which at present plugs straight into the mains, so that an emergency stop and cut-out can be achieved by a knee if necessary. Next time, though, will get the cheaper version that you wire it up myself, because it doesn't seem that complicated.

I've got this on the wall next to my table saw to make it easier to power on and off.The power off button on the saw is small and having this oversized shut off button helps.Highly recommended bit of kit.The big red off button make it easy to nudge it with your elbow or knee to power it off.

This was just what I needed for my home made router table. It feels far safer with the large, easy to hit stop lever. My only complaint is the very short cable to the router itself. It certainly in NOT 18" in length. More like 6". Nevertheless, easily worked around. Overall, I am very pleased with it.

This looks robust and it works well so far as a safety switch however the cord lengths are inaccurate. The descriptions both on the website and in the included instructions are for an 18 inch female wire and a 66 inch long male wire. As you can see from my photos, the female wire is less than 5 inches and the male is 33 inches. Bear this in mind if you are a reasonable distance from a power supply. As I am.

I love the added security this gives me, I have my woodlathe plugged into it and it is at knee height so if anything untoward happens I can safely disconnect from harm!
