Santa (me) gave me a early xmas present. I went to my local Woodcraft store and bought a foot switch for my 40-695 Delta scroll saw. They are having a sale all December. I think I paid $19.00 for it. I got to play with it last night on a project I need to get done, and I really Love it. Since I only have one hand to saw with this really helps on start-up's so far. I have experienced lots of chatter sometimes when I turned my saw on because I can't hold the wood and turn on the power switch at the same time. This caused some ugly cuts. I think that is all behind me now. Thanks Santa!! Now for some warmer weather so I can play in my unheated garage.... brrr!!

You will love having a foot switch ("dead pedal") it makes things so much easier and convenient that I am surprised that saw manufacturers don't include them with the saw. Or at least make them as a accessory like the lights and stands.

I enquired about a foot switch from the tool store where I got my EX21 from, they quoted me ?85 for it so I said no thanks. I wonder if the one you got would work on our 250v systems?

I got mine from HF for pretty cheap. It is really convenient.

I'm not sure about the 250v systems but, in the US, we use 110v and I bought mine for around $30.00.
You might try shopping around at different stores. Sometimes speciality shops get a bit more money for things.
