When you really need to hit the off switch, will you be able to find it? With a paddle-style safety switch like the one above, you won’t need to waste precious seconds searching — you just bump it with the nearest knee, elbow, or other close body part to turn off the machine.

I think it’ll work with a bloody stump, as well.

Is there anything like this out there with a magnetic switch instead?
I have one mounted on my lathe to control my dust collector, over a year old and no problems.
I’ve been looking for something like this for a while, my girlfriend’s father got an old old drill press for his birthday and it doesn’t have any kind of switch at all on it. I want to install a switch with an emergency stop… just in case.
The man’s already down to 9.5 fingers, he can’t afford to lose any more.
There’s a standard kind of industrial emergency-stop switch that you activate by smacking it, but can only DE-activate by turning it. They’re easy to find and not very expensive:
