I didn't like the toggle switch, so I ordered some "mini" rocker switches (3). I anticipate converting my 1x30" belt sander to the same variable/reversible motor from PSI, so I wanted at least one more, so got 3.
I kinda butchered it on one side with milling out the hole.
Wiring has gotten sorta tight in the box. I put shrink wrap insulation over the exposed quick disconnect fittings.
I put this switch next to the main power switch. It is low profile enough, I think I will not have much trouble flipping it instead of the power switch. Won't matter much, as all that would do is reverse the motor/pulleys/belt, but that does happen with a bit of a jolt. In use, I intend to power off before reversing.
I'll find or make a small cover for the hole left by the toggle switch, although, I think it hardly matters. It is on the side that has a bunch of vent slots, so it isn't like the hole will let in dirt anymore than the slots do.
