I have a Delta 46-612 lathe, and was blown away by the cost to get the original cover switch($300+), so am on the hunt for a replacement. I came across this lathe:

And I really like this switch, but have been unable to find it anywhere. I've checked Rockler, and Woodcraft, and Amazon, but have come up empty. Does anyone know where I can order this switch? Or one similar to it? Thanks,
Nick

Grizzly has one that looks dead on it. H8238, dual voltage. $13

Rockler used to have a box that looked just like it. Not on their website anymore. I'd try eBay.

Or maybe it WAS Grizzly. Shoulda known.

W W Grainger is usually a good place to get switches.
