    Comments about WoodRiver Accessory Power Switch :

    This switch does exactly what it is designed to do. I bought it for my router table, and it works great. My complaint is having to route the plug from the router to the front of the switch, does not look professional, and can get in the way. I built my own housing which tightly holds the power cord out of the way.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    This product was easily mounted on the leg of my portable router table. It's exactly what was needed and it works so much better than unplugging the cord to stop the unit from running.

    Comments about WoodRiver Accessory Power Switch :

    I used it with my table saw, ban saw, lathe. This switch is an excellent addition to my old devices, without safety switches and easy to install. What would be nice is a circuit breaker build inside the device for protection against power surges. My only dislikes are the screws on the back, you need a washer or thin cardboard so as to level the switch. Also, the holes for the slot holder should be larger and wider to install a thicker screw or bolt. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with this product.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about WoodRiver Accessory Power Switch :

    I used this product to power cycle an electronic device (slot machine) whose on/off switch is located internally. The device works fine but due to protruding rear screw heads does not mount to a flat surface flush. I had to use some washer as stand offs.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Design flaw but may be OK for some tools

    By  Sunshine River Walker

    from Northern California

    About Me

    Verified Reviewer

    Pros

    • High amp 20 vs 15

    Cons

    • No vacuum outlet
    • Outlet on front vs back

    Best Uses

    • Undusty tools

    Comments about WoodRiver Accessory Power Switch :

    There is a competing product (also sold by Woodcraft) with two female outlets, both of which are on the backside, with a keyed lockout to prevent accidental ON, altogether a better design.

    Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Comments about WoodRiver Accessory Power Switch :

    I watched The Wood Whisperer and discovered he used a simular switch. I decided to use this switch and have found it to be great for my air compressor that is contained in a cabinet. I have found most of your products meet or surpass satisfaction. This works GREAT

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
