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 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.

Excellent, easy to use, just what I ordered.

Increíble

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.

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.

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.

I like it. Once I installed it I didn't have to walk around my table saw to turn on the shop vac. Not having to turn on and off the shop vac means I can just work with my tools.The vacuum will turn on and off automatically. Huge time saver!Build quality looks good as well.

This works as well as other similar products on the market, but those are often $50 (way too much) and this one was more reasonable at $30.The highest load I plugged in was 15A tables saw + 6A dust collector. The collector is set to on and the switch is set to auto. I use it occasionally with relatively light workloads (small pieces of softwood). Did not notice any issues. It's annoying to that after starting the saw, I have to wait 5 seconds or so for the dust collector to come on. Would be nice to have less delay, but not a huge issue.It's not too hard to toggle with your foot, which is nice, but would be nice if the switch was bigger. The empty area is a nice foothold so you can step on it while pulling plugs out. I like the yellow color, makes it easy to spot. The light is a bit bright, but when I'm not working I turn it off further up the circuit anyway.
