Foot Switch

Only used a few times so far but …. Glad I bought it. Well worth it. 👍🏼🇺🇸

I debated buying this, since I'm naturally cheap, but decided I didn't want to have to plug and unplug the saw all the time, or reach past the blade to lock down the trigger. It's a simple on/off switch, which keeps the cost down from a variable speed unit, but my Milwaukee portable band saw has a speed control separate from the trigger, so variable speed isn't necessary. There is plenty of cord for my application, where my saw table is close to an outlet. I do need to find a better location for the pedal, though, since I turned the saw on a few times inadvertently, as I shifted my stance to brush filings from the saw table. And it shuts off immediately when you release the pedal, as opposed to taking a hand away from the workpiece to shut off a switch mounted to the saw or table.
