Bandsaw off/on Switch?

Bandsaw off/on Switch?
Hi Harry
I have one of those 4 speed taiwan made BS and my switch will refuse to work sometimes, the problem with mine is sawdust in the switch, I blow it out and away she goes again, I have that BS for 8 years now and still have the original switch, maybe all you have to do is cleaning the switch. If not than I would replace the switch with a regular light switch. It helps to screw, tape, or glue a flexible rubber flap over the switch (inner tube) to keep the dust out. http://homepage.mac.com/l.vanderloo/PhotoAlbum22.html Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo |

I didn't have trouble with my switch, but I know that it's usually what wears out first.. I wired up a standard 2 outlet box with a duplex plug and a light switch to control the plugs.. plugged the BS and the extra shopvac in so that they go on together.. (vac is hooked up to a DC port I cut on the BS door) Mac https://home.comcast.net/~mac.davis/wood_stuff.htm |

Harry, when you remove the switch from the box what do the terminals
look like? If they are flat blade type, Grizzly has them for $2.95 I believe, they also fit the Delta drill press.If this is what you need, make sure you get 115 volt type. As others posted, you could simply use a single pole wall switch,you would have to mount it differently.The Grizzly switch fits lots of machines,it's a paddle switch. mike |
