Review on 🦢 DCT Foot Pedal Switch for Woodworking and Sewing Machines - 115V, 15A Foot Operated On/Off Control Switch by Brian West

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well, cord is TOO HARD

I use it to turn on the vacuum when drilling holes in various Kreg attachments and also when using a grinder. This works fine for my application, but I hate the PVC cables that come with these devices. You get a "set" in a plastic wrap rolled up so tightly in the box that it's difficult to pull out when you want to use it. The pedal is not heavy enough to overcome the cable's tendency to twist or bend, especially in cold weather. I ended up removing the cord and replacing it with a 10 foot flexible extension cord and a new plug. No doubt this will void the warranty but now the pedal stays on the ground where I want it to be.

Pros
  • COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR POWER TOOLS: Works with your router, grinder, drill, wood lathe, grinder, or other 15 amp power tools and machines (not included); Compatible with variable speed devices (15A footswitch does not allow variable speed)
Cons
  • Angers
