Title: Where to buy foot switch for the scrollsaw online?
Post by: Charlie Dearing on August 08, 2010, 01:54:26 am

Where is the best place to buy a foot switch that can be used for a scrollsaw (online)?  I'd like one that I can turn on and off and not have to keep my foot on it.  Specific links would be nice.  ;)

I am also interested in a foot switch, but in 240v for Australia. Does anyone one know where I could get one?

Got mine at harbour freight.  Works good, but you have to keep your foot on both that they carry.  One is on/off the other is variable speed but either will stop without a foot on it.  I like the on/off because it'll start and stop instantly and gives me a lot better control of the cutting.  I got used to the foot on the switch quite easily.
