Review: High quality switch for my router table - This is a great safety switch for your router table or other power tool equipment. The only downfall is that it is not a magnetically held start meaning that if the power goes out, the unit will restart when power is restored. They have a magnetically held switch, but it did not have the paddle stop button. This one work very well for my application. The construction is very good and the size is just right.
Review: Perfect for table saw, router table, etc. - I recently purchased a second hand router table that although was very good in design and function, didn't come with a switch of any kind. For safe operation, you definitely need a start/stop switch on the front side of the table, ideally with a paddle stop function. I ordered this one and was very pleased with its appearance, function and build quality. It does the job for a very reasonable price!
