I read with interest Abe Litman’s solution to insuring removal of the drill press key in the July 2006 issue and decided to share a solution I have used for some time.
I have a switch on the side of the drill press cabinet that turns the motor on and off. With the switch off, I plug in a step switch in the outlet under the switch which allows me to turn the motor on or off by stepping on it. It works very well when using large drill bits.
I hope this is helpful to other readers.
