Jet Table Saw Switch Plate

The Jet table saw buttons were less than function when in a situation where turning on or off easily was necessary. As with most modern saws, a large paddle button is the thing for turning off the saw in an emergency situation. Rather than spend $$$$ for a new fangled saw with all the bells and whistles, I created this paddle switch button to adapt my old saw.

To add the paddle to the existing switch, I drilled two holes, one on each side to accept the pins. With just enough spacing, the paddle snaps into place.

The On Button is made to be pushed independent of the Stop Paddle, and is backed by a ¾" spring to push it forward. That is so you are required to push it to turn on the saw. Pushing the Stop Paddle will not engage the On button.

ABS was used for the red parts, as well as white ABS for the lettering on the paddle (it's what I had installed in the AMS). The green for the On button is PLA, as is the white on that button.

UPDATE: A cover for the On switch has been added for safety. I found myself on occasion leaning over the saw and hitting the On button inadvertently. Simply glue this on to the face of the paddle using the On Button Mount to center it over the hole before assembling the switch.
