Description:
This is a variable speed dial switch. It has a compact design for easy installation. This authentic Porter Cable replacement part is sold individually.

Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools, handling all on/off and variable speed operations. They also have a role in electric breaking; they can momentarily reverse electrical polarity. Because switches use mechanical internals, they will degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are:
  • The tool will not start when you use the switch, or it requires multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it refuses to start at all.
  • The variable speed function and electric braking aren’t working properly.
