Finding a machine part

[PreacherJon]

A Friend posted: "Can anyone help me find this switch? The switch itself turns; on/off. It comes from a 1950's DEWALT radial arm saw. I have found several that look like it but are toggle switches. This one just turns. "

Any help out there?

I doubt if you will find the part for a saw that old. Good luck and let us know if you find one. You might be able to "adapt" another switch.

If you have no luck finding a replacement switch, you could always just hard-wire the connections that the switch is controlling and get an inline power switch, something like this...

I love the label that says to look in the "yellow pages" lol

Ace Hardware is good place for stuff like that.

Another place to look is an electrical motor service.
