Auxiliary Switch for the Tablesaw
Foot-operated switch provides hands-free control
by Dario Brisighella
After experimenting with a dozen or so locations and types of tablesaw power switches, this is the one I find most convenient and safest to use. I mounted a standard 20-amp light switch low to the left side of the saw, as I face the blade. I added an auxiliary, foot-operated lever to the basic switch, so my hands are free to handle the stock. The fingers of the auxiliary-switch lever only loosely trap the actual switch lever in both the on and off position, preventing any damage. I fabricated my latest edition of the switch lever from alumimum, but the original one I made from maple served me long and well.
