| Won't shut off with switch. Can't seem to find one. Wonder if a universal switch will work? Prefer the paddle stop I can push with my knee. Thanks |

May be way too basic, but didn't those have that little yellow key deal that had to be inserted into the red switch button to turn it on/off? ------------- D17 Series 1 Allis B- 1939 Allis B- 1945 |

yes, any Heay Duty swtich will work... Mine is 220v and i used a double pole, single throw switch like a light switch.. but rated at 20 amps and twice as big.. Still fits in the standard 2 x 4 box.. ... Look on AMAZON and type in 220v switch and you can get light switch, paddle switch, similar to breaker handle, etc..
something like this...  ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Thanks Steve, that Home Depot switch is the type I want. My saw is 110 . I'll take my old out and go from there. |

| Ordered and finally received a new switch. All I got was the switch itself, not the whole unit. Tried to put my old paddle stop on with no luck. Maybe I can get a corded switch with paddle stop that will work? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks! |

I got what I ordered just didn't work like I'd hoped. Does turn my saw off and on Do miss the paddle stop though. Didn't think you could return electrical stuff anyway. Thanks |

Wal Mart sells a similar switch . Check the AMP rating for 120v... Some of the smaller ones are 10 amps... The larger are 16 amps... Your not pulling that, but heavy duty might last longer. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Thanks Steve! I ordered the Wally world switch. Installed it today, works well and nice to have a paddle stop again. Live and learn I guess. |
