I have this setup on the other end of my cnc router With the three way switches and with two vacs I can see and I did turn the wrong one on/off. or turning it off when I wanted it on or such. I also wanted a box cover that did not go past the box so things would not get caught. Plus forgetting what switch did what so these indicator lights and labels took care of it all. though the amber and red look almost the same. I wanted to do it with leds but I did not have all of the parts on hand and I only wanted a single light. So I just used automotive indicator lights. I hooked the wallwart to the relays that turn on the motors with a extension curt with the make end cut off. I used yellow dibond and cut it all with a 1/16" straight bit. a 1/32" would have been better for the lettering but I was lazy. I countersunk it with a single flute countersink in the drill press that really did a great job. v bits don't seem to do well with dibond.
after bit of course I won't need it but Tend to get stuck on what way to flip a switch. I really wanted a single button three way switch so you push it to turn on push it to turn off. but I never found any.
