There have been a few times that I wish this was on my saw so I built a prototype. The block that touches the switch is angled for square contact. The lever flexes to activate the switch exactly the correct way each time. If it were to break it will fall off leaving the stop switch exposed. Foot won’t accidentally activate unless I raise my foot at least 6 inches. It’s also not in the way when standing by it due to table and rail overhang.
