I created this DIY paddle switch for the table saw several years ago and have found it very helpful. ?If this hasn't already been suggested, (couldn't find anything in the search) thought it might help others that also have the start/stop on the machine base.
- I use this to turn off the saw with my foot/knee/palm without having to look down, and equally important, gives me a kind of brail to find the start button quickly when view of the buttons are blocked?
- Quite helpful when I have a medium sized sheet or parts on the slider. ?(I do still use the rear mounted start button when I have fully retracted the slider for a long rip cut)
- It has such a big surface area that I have found I will often do a kind of gentle karate kick after pushing through the cut rather than walking back to the button to turn it off?
- I think I have accidentally turned off the saw with my knee one or two times since I put this into use. ?
best,?
Anthony?
