Will this work with a miter saw that has a light that stays on all the time? Is there a minimum current required to activate the vac receptacle?

I use this with a dewalt 10 inch. It works great. I thank it would work fine with your saw.

I do not know for sure, but I suspect that you would not have a problem. However, I suggest that you contact them directly at info@ivacswith.com. I have found them to be very responsive and helpful. Good Luck. I love mine.

From the companies website: http://www.ivacswitch.com/default.action?itemid=13: Turn On Tool Current in Auto Mode 0.3 Amps to 15 Amps. It depends on the bulb. If it is just a 120V bulb it'll have to draw less than 36 Watts (120V*0.3A = 36Watt cut in).

I have the 12 inch DW708 and it works fine. However, I don't know if you'll have enough residual current to keep the light on when you use the "Tool" outlet. It'll work if you plug the saw in the "Auxiliary" outlet when you are done sawing. If you can separate the light from the saw, problem solved. Otherwise send an email ti the iVac support group, I have used their service and they are very good.

Yes. The feed for the saw stays hot all of the time. Only vacuum outlet keys on saw operation.

It works fine on 115v. That is how the saw comes wired. You probably could have an electrician convert it to 220v if that is what you wanted. It will work fine in a garage, that is where I have mine.

As with most battery powered tools, the trigger (switch) must be depressed to turn the vacuum on. There is no trigger lock, like you find on some power tools, that would allow the tool to run without continuously pressing the trigger. I hope that answers your question.

I use it on a 1.5 hp router table and love it. Easy access cutoff and protected on switch. I would use it on 110 vac standard table saw based on my experience.

It the Pole Saw is a 20 Volt it will work. If it is an 18 Volt Pole Saw it will NOT work moreover, the battery will not fit into the connection.

Your question spurred me into trying it out. I set up multiple tools on an outlet strip and each one, when powered up, started the vacuum. Looking at the instructions, they hinted at multiple tools. No problems were noted when running multiple tools. Thanks for the question; it has expanded my use of this great switch.

Absolutely! The foot control is just a switch, you plug it into the outlet then plug your saw into the switch ( or anything you'd like to control up to 15 amps ).

It is a magnetic switch, so you must match the switch voltage to the tool being switched. For instance, if you use a 220v switch to operate a 110v router, there will not be enough voltage to hold the switch in the on position.

I used this on my craftsman 100 table saw. I didn't rewire it I just plugged in my motor cord into this unit.

Just plug into a 115 VAC outlet. Don't need to hook up the safety switch wires to make it operate properly.

I used it with a Miter saw, so not with continuous use, but it worked fine for me all day.

Glenn, you might be able to modify and create something simple that does what you want because it is definitely drawing power from my wall. The vacuum receptacles throughout the house have power running into them with a little plug under each. I bet you can simply just run the power into it yourself with the right cable and connector. Here's a picture of exactly what the pins look like on the vaccum that I was speaking of. http://www.centralvacuumstores.com/meta/images/lg/cvs/centec_8919_2.jpg

I wired my table saw and dust collector to the same box so when I turn the saw on it also turns the collector on. A 20 amp breaker is fine.

It's turned on by centrifical force. Turning the saw on turns the light on.

It will switch 120 VAC and up to 20 amps. I would not recommend switching more than 10 or 15 amps. The timer itself is mechanical, not driven by electricity.

It depends, I am using this on my Jet Bandsaw and have it attached to the upright which is cast iron and magnetic. It works to span the foot or so distance to the blade area, so I can see, but I also added other lights for even better visibility. LED lamps emit light from a smaller area that say a regular bulb so shadows can be more of a problem.You need to have a magnetic surface with about 2 inches of flat surface close enough to allow you to position the light so it helps you see your work. That being said for the price it seems to work reasonably well for me. Good luck!

Yes. I used this for my table saw. Saw plugs into switch and switch into wall or extension cord.
