Automatic Vacuum Switch Allow Power Tool/Table Saw to Turn Vac Cleaner/Accessory On and Off Automatically, Load Sensing, On Delay Prevent Circuit Overload, Shop Dust Collector Off Delay

I bought this for my bandsaw dust collector, and it is perfect, just what I wanted. It is set up with a delayed stop of a few seconds after I stop the saw to clear everything out, and it works very well. It saves me two steps of turning the dust collector on and off, and streamlines my process, which is exactly what I wanted. I like that it has the switch to set it to auto, on, or off also. It was a good buy and a valuable addition to my little shop.

I bought it to do a vaulted ceiling project in my formal room. Using it has been very convenient so that I don't have to turn the switch to the vacuum, then use the saw, then turn off the vacuum. There is a bit of a delay but is hardly a couple of seconds between starting the saw and the vacuum starting. There is also a delay between turning the saw off, which is nice as it cleans dust lingering around. It is worth the expense when you have a big project and needs to be doing constant cuts.

Works fantastic!

UPDATE 2: After only a couple months, my replacement crapped out (again). Not only does the switched tool outlet not power on when the main tool is activated, no outlet works. It's a pile of junk. I'm happy that Senctrl proactively leaned forward and replaced my original unit, but the fact that two units in a row failed means I simply cannot recommend this for any serious use. I guess if I were more electrically savvy I might be able to crack this open and replace some defective parts (might be that the defects are replaceable by cheap but robust parts), but this hardly makes this a recommendation to buy. If I were you, dear prospective customer...please go shopping elsewhere (I have).UPDATE: Senctrl responded to my negative-ish review by offering me either a refund or a replacement product. I chose the replacement b/c a) I just wanted an auto vac switch that worked, and b) I do understand that some products simply fail earlier than expected, and was more than willing to give 'em a second chance.I am happy to report that the replacement arrived w/in a few days (Amazon normal), and works perfectly upon installation.I'll update this review if the product appears to fail in an unreasonably short timeframe, but for now, kudos to customer support for standing behind their product--I'm pretty sure that I got the replacement outside the official warranty, and for no questions asked. Happy days.//original review follows//I added this to my table saw setup, so I could simply turn on my saw and the attached shop vac w/ cyclone separator would start automatically, without me having to step around to switch it on. Worked like a charm, and I especially liked the feature that kept the vac powered for seven seconds after the saw stopped, to gobble up all those particles still swirling around.All was good for about five months, until one day it simply stopped working. Cold. More specifically, rocking the switch to "off" indeed means that the vacuum won't start. And the "(always) on" position works. It's just that the justification for this $30 switch, the "auto" position fails to power on the vacuum at all.Now, I can work around this by simply switching the rocker to "on" before I power up my saw, but again, this totally defeats the purpose of a little pricey switch box to begin with. And, yes, I verified the issue was not my vac by plugging in another device into the vac port. Clearly something in the unit fried, and this highly disappoints me. It's a solid state product and should last for years and years.Five months? Look elsewhere IMHO.

Excellent, easy to use, just what I ordered.

I bought this two years ago: worked great, really useful. Today the load sensor is not working, not turning the vac on when the tool is running. Good quality and utility, really useful while it worked.

Increíble

I bought this for my sliding compound miter saw, I use a small 2 gallon vacuum on this saw and it was a bit annoying to have to turn the vac on, make a cut, turn the vac off, this outlet fixes that. The delay is nice and I use it, powers the saw and the vac and have had no issues in the year I've used it. Highly recommend.
