    DJ 20 type power switch for router table

    I had acquired a switch from a DJ 20 for my router table.

    Now I need another switch. Anyone have a source for the ultimate router table switch?

    Cal,
    Rockler sells a JET PB switch just for routers for under 20 bucks on sale.

    I have one of the rockler switches - it's fine. The thing I'm worried about now is that my power will flicker once every couple of weeks, and I don't want to be a party to things getting launched across the room when the cut stops and then starts right away. Same goes for my hybrid TS.

    I'm probably going to spend the extra $30 to get a magnetic switch for both.

    Tellecamique or something like that - can't remember the brand name - has magnetic switches available for about $50.

    Grizzly also has a couple, but they're a little more $ - like $65 or so.

    I'm thinking the first time a piece would fly across the shop, you'd wish you got it, though. I hate things flying across the shop - some are more indifferent than me, but it's only a matter of time until something hits me (again) or pulls a finger into something.

    I put a contactor ahead of my shop panel so it turns off all the tools after an outage.....Rod.

    Calvin, I have purchased 2 of the Rockler switches, each time on sale for 14.95. I have recessed mounted these on my router table and table saw, then I made paddle switches that I can bump with my legs, works great.

    If you can pick these up on sale, tought to beat. They go on sale often
