For added safety measures, the start button can be locked to prevent unauthorized use. (Please Note: The switch is built with heavy duty electrical components and a force range of 40-60 Newtons or 9 to 13.5 pounds-force is required to activate) It’s the perfect safety feature for: Table Saws Drill Press Band Saw Sanders and Jointers Dust Collection Systems for Woodworking Single Phase Power Switch Specifications Type: Start Stop Push Button Operation Mode: ON-OFF-ON Dual Voltage: 120/230V Rated current: 2 HP/35 amps at 120 volts | 3 HP/20 amps at 230 volts Approved By: UL, TUV, CSA, CE, ETL standards POWERTEC is a leading manufacturer of high quality woodworking tools and accessories, machines, and an assortment of OEM replacement parts.

Review: Sturdy construction, works well, relatively easy to install. - Works pretty well over all. Wiring was easy to connect with standard spade terminals but I could also have used ring terminals. I have a vintage drill press of unknown manufacture and was surprised to find that the switch actually fit the mounting hole, however the cover and the paddle were both too large but I was easily able to trim them down a bit with a multi tool. I would have been surprised if it had actually fit perfectly on my old drill press but it definitely works well and the modifications that I had to make were purely cosmetic. The cover seems very sturdy and durable as well, definitely wouldn't break easily under normal usage. I'd buy another one of these if I ever end up restoring another machine that needs a power switch. Review: Nice switch easy to see. - Works great for our purpose. Easy to see with a huge stop paddle. Would buy again. ## Features - INCLUDES: 120/230V Paddle On/Off Switch - DUAL-VOLTAGE COMPATIBLE (120V & 230V): Designed for both 120V and 230V single-phase wiring setups.

If you need one, please check out our POWERTEC 71054 120V Magnetic Paddle Switch. **Q: how much pressure to press the off button?** A: Funny you should ask this question! I bought the switch months ago, to retrofit a dust collector's bad switch. The dust collector is plugged into a remote on/off unit, so I rarely use the unit's switch, until two days ago. I had to relocate the dust collector and just plugged into a wall socket. The on side had a definite click to it, however to off side was spongy and, in fact, I had to push it several times to make sure the unit was off. To answer your question, I cannot tell exactly how much pressure was required, but it definitely did not seem normal. **Q: Delta 36-725t2. anyone have a suggestion on how to mount this switch to a delta 36-725t2 table saw (as the original switch is built into the “box”)?** A: Mount one electric switch box to the saw and then put the new switch in the electric box. **Q: Is this a single or double pole switch?** A: If it is rated for 220 volts it must be double pole - must switch both lines. I use this switch for 220 volt dust collector. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy construction, works well, relatively easy to install. *by J***R on April 1, 2026* Works pretty well over all.
