General Scroll Saw Talk / Foot switch
« on: November 20, 2016, 11:28:55 pm »
I picked up the HF foot switch, the dead man type, been using it on the Craftsman while I wait on the Dewalt to arrive, should be Monday, the 21st or so I was told 
My question for my fellow scroll sawyers, where do you place your footswitch for max comfort, thinking of making a platform, or footrest, with the switch mounted to it, maybe at a slight angle, sorta like a gas peddle in a truck or car, as it is, the switch is so light, it tends to move if not careful.
I was thinking a foot rest, would keep it in place and the angle may be easier on the foot, since we do use the gas peddle, and it would almost seem a natural to "hit the gas" so to speak, even told the wife I bought a gas peddle for the new saw.
What do ya'll think of the platform idea??
Thanks ya'll
