Default Foot pedal for power tools

I have one that only supplies power when the pedal is depressed, not a click

In a way, I like the safety aspect of that, but you can't change your
footing half-way through the cut.

I think I got mine from Sears. I use it for my old craftsman tablesaw and my
router table and have never had a problem.


Ahh.... the old "dead man" switch....

It's not comfortable or convenient, but it sure works well when needed...
Actually, it's also like my wife's swing machine switch/pedal thingy..
