If you need one, please check out our POWERTEC 71054 120V Magnetic Paddle Switch. **Q: how much pressure to press the off button?** A: Funny you should ask this question! I bought the switch months ago, to retrofit a dust collector's bad switch. The dust collector is plugged into a remote on/off unit, so I rarely use the unit's switch, until two days ago. I had to relocate the dust collector and just plugged into a wall socket. The on side had a definite click to it, however to off side was spongy and, in fact, I had to push it several times to make sure the unit was off. To answer your question, I cannot tell exactly how much pressure was required, but it definitely did not seem normal. **Q: Delta 36-725t2. anyone have a suggestion on how to mount this switch to a delta 36-725t2 table saw (as the original switch is built into the “box”)?** A: Mount one electric switch box to the saw and then put the new switch in the electric box. **Q: Is this a single or double pole switch?** A: If it is rated for 220 volts it must be double pole - must switch both lines. I use this switch for 220 volt dust collector. ## Frequently Bought Together - POWERTEC 110/230V Dual Voltage On/Off Switch, 3HP Single Phase Safety Power Switch for Table Saw, Router Table, Drill Press, Bench Saw, Bandsaw, Sander, Grinder & Other Electrical Equipments (71008) - QWORK Single Groove Web Sheaves, 2-1/2"OD 5/8"Bore V-Belt Sheave for V-Belt - VEVOR 2HP Electric Motor 1725 RPM, AC 115V/230V, 56C Frame, Air Compressor Motor Single Phase, 5/8" Keyed Shaft, CW/CCW Rotation for Agricultural Machinery and General Equipment --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/12389470-71008](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/12389470-71008) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-08-11*
