If you're going to put a foot switch on the saw it will need wiring in after the NVR switch if it has one, you also it needs to be push to make, non latching. I have a Draper one but it's an old one, not sure if it's still available. Look on ebay or electrical suppliers. here's just one example. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AC-250V-15A-M ... 2466075838
happy scrolling

thats very helpful,a momentary foot switch.the scroll saw only has the usual red and green switches and a speed control switch.i found a momentary foot switch ac 250 15a on ebay so surely if i disconnect the wires from the red and green switch and put them to the foot switch that would work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or dose this electricute me ha ha.
