In need of a Delta 46-460 on/off switch. All I can find is they have been discontinued. Anyone have a suggestion or a place to buy the switch. Thanks in advance.
ThanksGood Afternoon Perry,
I have a couple of Delta lathes, including a 46-460 as well as a 46-250. You didn't say if your's is a Type 1 or a Type 2. I would think it probably makes on difference. I find eReplacementparts.com usually has what I need as far as Delta parts go. If per chance you cannot locate what you need it should be totally straight forward to build one yourself. It might not look as pretty as a factory switch, but it should work. And there are several quite helpful forks on here who might be able to help with building a switch, eg @magpens for one.

Thanks Gary i hadn`t thought of bt passing it.You've blown all the crud out of the switch to see if that fixes it? If all else fails jumper past the switch and plug the lathe into one of those safety power tool switches from Rockler and hang it in a convenient place.
