| Posted in General Discussion on
Hi all. Just signed up. Was snail mail fw subscriber from 1992 to 1997. Still have every issue! I have to add a switch to our 5 hp planer. Having trouble finding switch, any ideas? I don’t really need a magnetic contactor just an old school switch.

Welcome, kanelr! For a 5 hp motor, you are out of the standard switch realm and into starter/contactor territory. Grizzly, Grainer and McMaster=Carr, as well as your local electrical supply house, has what you need. The simplest way is to use a manual starter. It looks like a magnetic starter, but doesn't use a relay.
Thanks!
