Can you recommend me a foot pedal for my record scrollsaw' also are they straight forward to connect up to the scrollsaw ?
Alan
 
You need one that's a non latching type, push on release off, deadmans I think they're called. I have a Draper one and it works OK, came with a saw I bought. If your saw has a NVR switch it will need to be bypassed for the pedal to work as the on/off switch.
 
I have fitted a foot pedal to my Parkside scroll saw. There should be a description somewhere on this forum. I was lucky and got help from some members on here.

take care

Thanks for that I am looking for the item on ebay but have not found the seller yet also I have sent a message to outlook so fingers crossed for me Alan
 
Any one of those greenish/bluish 250 volt 15 amp will do. I see the price is now around the £8 odds mark.

take care

Hi Alan,
I have attached a pic. of some part I had sent to me.
It is quite simple if you have any electrical experience.
I have a selection of notes that I used and I could let ou have them if you wish.

This is the first folder of bits that I have. I don't know how restrictive this forum is so I will attach what I have in 2 lots. There are probably duplicate posts.

NVR and spade connectors removed  P8300006.jpg
Hi Alan,
I will try and attach the next lot of information that I have.
I have tried to post some info. but I am confused by the way it is posting. As I said without your private email address it is pretty well useless

Don W
PS If you hover the mouse over the picture it will tell you what you are looking at.

sorry I sent you a private message last week I thought it would show my email add .Anyway I have sent my email add to you again to see if it comes through Alan
 
Hi All
firstly I am not an electrician but the way I have wired my foot pedal works a treat. I got an extension lead with 4 plug points, cut the lead in half and wired the foot pedal with feed in and feed out. This way I can plug in dust extractors (I use 2 ash vacs, one with the suction from the top of my blade and the other from the bottom) so when i press the pedal, the saw and the dust extractors start and stop together. I have used this method for about four years with no problem.

Alan and Don I came across your post during a google search of how to wire a foot pedal to a record scroll saw, I liked what I was reading and consequently purchased the foot switch in your post. I have now received the pedal and would really appreciate it if you would be so good as to share with me the photo's / instructions Don you shared with Alan.

I look forward to hopefully hearing from you shortly. Thank you in advance Ian
 
Hi Ian,
There is quite a bit of info. on this. If you PM me I could send what I have.

Morning Don hoping you can help me please, I want to fit a foot pedal controller by-passing the NVR SWITCH mine looks exactly the same as your image, which of the 3 wires around motor did you tap into for your foot pedal? Hope you don’t mind me bothering you,
cheers
