May 19, 20205 yr So many ways of temping a solution. A lot comes down to how comfortable one is with some of the temp solutions. One could double side gorilla tape an electrical box to saw and splice a cable to the saw connections and then install a male cord cap on another cable and plug it in. One could just bypass the switch, splice the wires straight through, and just plug/unplug the cord into an outlet for on/off. OSHA might not want to see this done LOL. If the saw is never going to be wired for 240 volts a single pole switch is all that’s needed. Certainly if a 2 pole 30 amp switch was made to work on a permanent basis, I would think it would last forever.
May 24, 20205 yr Author Popular Post Thank you, Gunny. Gunny was able to remove a switch and he sent it to me. I received the switch yesterday and installed it today. Just what I needed. I should be making saw dust tomorrow. Thanks again. Thank you to everyone who provided alternative solutions. Danl

Been busy with several other more pressing things to get done. I use magnetic switches. If power fails the tool is off until the switch is activated the next time.
