theconrodkid - 19/11/09 at 12:47 PM

i have searched high and low,from the deserts of wickes to the jungle that is maplins and even the badlands of my local tool shop to no avail
all i seek is a square green "start" button for my trusty pillar drill,just the green cover is all i desire to make my trusty tool complete again,so anyone got one going spare?

does RS not have what you want? is the one on your drill broken? can you find out the manufacturer of the switch?

ive got some complete NVR switches if there any good?

is there any way of making one/something. i remember in the 80's my dads drill had one wittled out of a piece of wood, but he was a carpenter!!!

The switch on my Screwfix drill broke so I joined the wires at the back and used the wall socket to switch it on and off.

what size of square, have probably got some photocopier start buttons on some knackered copier displays that I can have a look at.
