First things first: this is a simple double pole, single throw pushbutton switch. Push START to turn something on, it stays on till you push STOP. Since it is double pole, it open both lines in a 240V circuit. Both the START and STOP buttons have a nice feel and action, with an obvious detent or bump that tells you the switch has opened or closed. The terminals on the back are clamp type -- tighten the screw to clamp the wire. It has a lockout passthru behind the start button, so you can prevent the switch from turning on.I installed this switch on a Delta DJ-15 jointer, replacing the original, which failed after 15 years. (This switch looks like an exact replacement, which was nice but not necessary.) I did not have any trouble with the mounting, once I replaced the metric screws with 6-32 screws. For my jointer, the switch passes thru a cutout in a sheet metal panel, with a single gang "handy box" behind the panel. However, without that panel, mounting would not be as easy.Delta wanted about $60 for a replacement part; Amazon was $15. Thanks for reading, and I will try to answer any questions that come up.UPDATE after 18 months: the switch still works great. It probably has a thousand cycles on it (which is not all that much) and it still has a nice feel to it. I don't even notice that it is new anymore :)UPDATE #2 at 3 years -- still working flawlessly.UPDATE #3 at 7 years -- still working perfectly. Great switch.

This was really a great buy , great value and great product . This was a up grade to my panel saw , I feel safer now that this switch is on my saw.. Item could be improved with wider plate to match up to electrical boxes ie: weatherproof boxes ,this would help sealing edges from dust getting in ,along with gasket seal .

As another reviewer has indicated, this switch is probably intended for mounting in a panel. I managed to squeeze it into an extra deep utility box. I had to use a grommet in lieu of the standard box clamp and could not fit wire nut connections within the box (I soldered wires together and covered with shrink tubing).I'm using the switch for a 1950's vintage Craftsman table saw. Back in those days, quality was the first consideration, safety was the last. The switch for turning on the saw was a toggle mounted on the motor at the back of the table saw. I decided it was not a good idea to reach over the blade to turn the saw on and off, so I mounted this switch in a convenient location on the side of the saw.It works great. The protected "on" switch makes it practically impossible to turn the saw on accidentally. To turn it off, all you have to do is slap your palm against the switch ---- quick and easy to do in an emergency.

I'm rebuilding my 1966 Quincy air compressor including all the plumbing and electrical. I wanted a better switch that what I had which was a commercial on/off house switch. I found this switch on Amazon and bought it. It works for both 115/230v applications. You will need a deep gang box; the switch will NOT fit in a regular gang box. I couldn't find one at my local hardware store so found an extra deep weather box on Amazon. I had to modify the box slightly with a file so the switch would fit into the box. You will also need to purchase long screws the same size/thread that will fit the box. The existing screws on the switch are too big and will not fit.

I bought this Woodstock D4157 push button switch for my 1950's era Craftsman Model 113.27970 10-inch Heavy Duty Table Saw that I am currently restoring. Wiring it up was easy, but as others have stated, you will need a deeper box to mount the switch into. I had a plastic outlet box that was deep enough to mount this switch into so I used it. I mounted the switch up in front of the machine for obvious safety reasons. Originally, Craftsman had the switch mounted directly on the motor in back of the machine, but I felt it needed to be mounted up front in case I needed to shut the machine down quickly in case of an emergency. The push buttons on this switch work great. I am very happy with this purchase. Will be purchasing another one of these switches for a new Rockwell/Delta 14 inch band saw the company I work for just purchased.

I bought this switch to have a master shut off for my Bridgeport mill VFD. The VFD stays energized without a switch, even when I turn the unit off on its control panel. As many reviewers have said, this switch is far more difficult to mount in an electrical box than it should be. Below are some photos of my mounting. I used a 4", 2 gang electrical box with a mud ring. The mud ring gives two advantages for this switch. First, it allows you to mount the switch while looking at the back side to see how the screws are aligning. This is helpful since you'll need to bend one of the tabs on the mud ring because the switch holes do not align properly! Second, it provides more room/depth for this very deep switch and makes tucking the wires in a bit easier. You'll need to throw away the two metric screws, lock washers and nuts that come with the switch and replace with standard #6 switch screws, which every other manufacturer in the U.S. uses.... You'll likely strip out the screw used on the tab that you have to bend but I was successful in getting a single use out of the screws. If you need to remove the screw on the bent tab, you'll likely need to replace it, to get proper toque (since you bugger up the threads after one attempt). I went through a few screws getting comfortable that the torque was sufficient. Last comment, the wire hold down screw mounts only have about two threads in what looks like a soft brass alloy. If you torque these too much, you'll strip the mount, making the switch pretty useless. The engineering of this switch is commensurate with its price and if you can overcome the mounting issues, it's a decent switch.

Arrived quickly ....... seems to be a good quality switch. Haven't been able to test if its weatherproof. Was easy to install

Works as advertised. Totally happy with performance. I can't address the size issue that some mentioned as I made a box just for them.

An electrical box to fit if would be an asset.

The switch works fine, mounting it into a box is a real challenge, the designers never bothered to make this work correctly in a standard external electrical box, the center screw and nut are needed to keep the switch and front plate together and cant be used to mount to a box. The instructions do not assist in offering options for mounting, its like they never bothered to think it through that far. Pain in the rear setting it up but it is working fine now.
