Most of my turnings are 9" in Diameter or less, and most are segmented so they are stable and balanced to start with. I wanted a remote stop switch, just never dedicated any time to make one until I turned a commissioned piece that measured 22" in diameter and 21" in height. This left me a long way from the stop switch and convinced me that it is time to get this done. So, after my usual Sawmill Creek research this is what I did.
I used the same $5 paddle switch from Grizzly that many have used, but I wanted to be able to easily remove it. Since the stop circuit is low voltage DC. I opted for a 1/4" phono plug with a normally closed jack. This way, I can just unplug it and the circuit works as usual. Here are the pics.
