Tool Mounted Power Disconnect

[Mike Heidrick]

I have a couple tools with the rotating/locking power disconnects. I am thinking I want a few more of these. Anyone have a good source?

Factorymation.com carries them, but they show out of stock right now.

A twist lock power plus does the same thing. I have them on all my 220V machines, though you can buy twist locks for 110V as well.

On my 66, it's at the end of a 20' power cord I installed. I also like MM's approach on their band saw I have. The power cord coming out of the machine is only 18" long and you install a male twist lock. You then make a extension cord however long you need. To disconnect power at the machine, you simply lean over and un-twist the cord at the machine.

Not sure this is what your looking for but my local Lowes and Home Depot both carry twist lock plugs. Expensive, but nice.

Regards,

John

The last twist locks I got on ebay. Good prices.
