POWERTEC 71649 Safety Locking Switch – Dual Voltage 110V/220V Table Saw Switch Replacement w/On Off Toggle for Power Tools

My old style switch in my Delta drill press was replaced by this one. I love how easy it is to install and how effective it is. To me, the larger paddle switch is superior to the tiny old switch that was there originally. It is common to find this switch on more recent drill presses, and once you try it, you will see why they do. Although it's much larger than I expected, that doesn't make it any less awesome. A nice quality table saw usually has one similar in size to this. In a hurry, you can quickly pull it on and off. This style of replacement was significantly faster than the old style. It took less than a minute. The old switch had to be extracted from the aluminum panel, and that was the most difficult part. Except for that, this one just snapped right into place, the wires going in the same places as the last one. For the price it is a great buy.

It comes with one table saw. In light of the fact that the original part was long ago discontinued, this seemed like a good alternative. As soon as it arrived, I noticed it was about half the size of the original. However, using the white wire clips on one side and the black wire clips on the other, it worked great! People with this saw should know there is an original plastic box behind the wire opening that must be replaced. The original screws were used for installation. It took me no more than a few minutes to drill four small holes in the steel saw base, locate the new minor switch at its center, and secure the new smaller switch in place. Keep in mind that re-evaluating your decision should be a priority This first step is to install the original plastic box since it is there to keep sawdust out, which will make the switch In order to securely fasten the new switch, you will need four new screws (not included). I love it!.

There was a small difference in the face plate. I attached it to the replacement after removing the original mounting from the fried switch. The open switch would snap into the opening as is. Not only does it snap into the original opening, but I can screw it in the places where the OEM screwed it in.

I was able to buy the switch for a reasonable price that was identical to the original in both fit and function. As this is a common switch for my power tools, I usually have a few of these on hand if I need a replacement.

I have no idea about the weatherproof part, but I purchased a drill press for a cheap price because it literally fell off the truck, so it was missing the key to the switch. As soon as I unplugged the previous switch, this one snapped right into place and wired up the same way.

An old Craftsman table saw had a broken switch, so we decided to replace it with this. Taking out the old switch and replacing it with this one isn't that difficult.

A new life for my old Chicago electric table saw (64459), it was a bit larger than the original but makes it safer, placing the switch near the housing makes it harder to accidentally lift as seen in this picture.

The old part had two female ends, this one had four. It still worked, although the plastic flanges that held the switch in the housing were damaged, since my table saw is about 15 years old. My old switch was easy to remove, the new one replaced quickly, and now it's working.
