Hey-

Working on the work bench and need to wire a plug on a swich for the router table portion of this and have been looking for a switch similar to the one on the BT with a cover you bump to turn off ect... Don't know what the thing is called. I've searched homedepot, lowes and granger.com. Anyone knwo what to call this thing, or where I can get one local???

If you do a quick 'google' for "router table safety switch" you should find something that will work for you.

Example -- Fifth item down.

All else failing, you could catch someone parting out a BT and snag the power switch from that and adapt it to your table.

That was what I did. I mounted the plug inside the router compartment. Works like a charm!

Thanks Fellas

Those will work... I tried every combo of switch, safety, tool, saw and router I knew of with no luck.

They have theirs on sale right now, if you need anything else, that can get you over the free shipping amount.

You can use this switch on most any tool, especially good as you don't need to use your fingers, or look for a small button.

About a sears replacement switch assembly that costs about 25 bucks. I think I may buy 2, 1 for the router table in my BT3k, the other as a replacement for the saw itself.

Fixed the link.

The Sears switch looks very similar to the BusyBee one.
