I had trouble finding foot pedals for scroll saws, and then ... DUH ...
I did a search for foot pedals for power tools. Of COURSE there are lots
of them (and surprisingly not JUST for scroll sawss). Oh man, sometimes
I think I lost my brains on one of my daily walks.

Anyway ... can anyone please recommend which foot pedal I should buy?
Maybe the answer is - any of them. But just in case there are
significant differences, I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks!

Only to be used on stationary tools. Not on a router doing an inside corner cut
on a piece of Pebble Shale Staron, then NOT shutting off power AT the
router...then stepping on the switch..and taking a divot out of the workbench.

..that can happen.......or so I'm told.

Yeah, been there, done that. I stopped using a footswitch after an
'interesting' router incident - never again. Maybe a scroll saw but
never, ever again, a router or any other tool with the capability to
remove body parts.
