arrived quick and got my belt sander back in business.

Looked like an OEM part and swaped out very easily, allowing me to keep this tool going. No surprises, fairly straight forward repair process. The biggest advantage was the speed with which the part was delivered.

Compete kit w/ instructions.

Porter Cable does not make it easy, but switch fits and works well. Needs a little spray of lubrication, so it clicks on and off until it breaks in.
