Good Afternoon everyone,
I recently bought an old Rockwell 14" band saw and I am in the process of upgrading it with some new parts. I am building a new stand for it and want to replace the light switch on the old base with a paddle switch mounted on the saw frame. My saw has the open frame support which is making me overthink how to mount my switch. I have come up with a couple of ideas but see potential drawbacks to all of them and I do not have time to troubleshoot various methods as I need the saw to start on a new project. I have looked online for information but have not found anything helpful on how people mounted their switches and most photos do not show the switch in detail.

I'm sure this saw does not have much value historically, but I would like to minimize the number of holes drilled into the frame if possible.

I am hoping some of you experienced creekers can provide some suggestions or examples of how to mount the switch securely.

Thank you
Ryan
