Gizmo

[Larry Rose]

I bought this thing several years ago and it bit the dust over the week end. In don't know what its called and cant find anything else that looks like it . It was hooked to my table saw and a dust collector. Any body know where to get something like it? Its obviously craftsman, but google doesn't help.

Did it start dust collector when saw started?

I too use this (Craftsman current tap) to autostart my shop vac connected to my CMS. I don't think Sears sell them anymore.

This is pretty much the same thing only a little more stout.

I have a couple of the Sears gizmos and they were a bargain @ $20 each.

One quirk they exhibit is when using the gizmo with a soft-start router, the vacuum won't start because the current inrush is not sufficient. Worked fine with a normal router.
