    Default Proxxon mod

    ..just a headsup for those that use a Proxxon for power carving and are having those pesky switch issues (switch is positioned so that it easily turns off when in use and on when put down).
    I just cut a bit of plastic milk bottle and using existing screws positioned over the switch...works a treat..ImageUploadedByTapatalk1357262602.636806.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1357262636.239188.jpg

    what if the hokey pokey is really what it's all about?

    Brilliant! I don't have a Proxxon but have been considering one. Hadn't heard about the switch thing but this should solve the problem. Thanks.

    E=mc2 seems a less elegant solution than this

    I had to do something similar for the switch on my bench grinder as it was the only switch that little fingers could potentially reach.
