help with a switch name

[tkpm]

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of dim moment, what is the name for the type of switch found on band saw, pillar drills, bench planners etc.

I have a bench sander, which i think the switch has gone, need the name so i can try replacing it.

Thanks inadvance.

Hi Terry

They are commonly called, No volt switches

Kind of like this No Volt Release Switch (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HEAVY-DUTY-NO-VOLT-RELEASE-SAFETY-SWITCH-240V-18A-AC-/250959850195?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3a6e5f6ad3)

If you do a search for " No volt switch " on ebay you are sure to find one that matches the one you are looking for :)
