I wouldn't mind a momentary foot switch on the drill press

My approach would work with the drill press as well. Depending on how
it is presently switched, I would lok into a DPDT replacement so you
might use the same approach - removable FS while maintainingthe
original operation and control on the drill press.

But I think i need to devise a crank switch so that, as soon as you

etc) the power is cut. Hmmm, you've given me a patentable idea. Let's
