Thread: Source of mushroom emergency stop button

G'day Ern,

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for?

I used one of these thingos so I can turn on my dusty from inside with the dusty being outside enclosed in its own shed. Pulls out to turn on, stomp on it to turn off.

If you specifically want a socket and plug on it, then PWS have them, at about $100 a pop.

Yep Waldo ... close. Bigger mushroom though, to hit with the foot. Think they're around at about 60mm wide but I'll live with smaller.

Where'd you get it from? Sparky supplies place?

Yep, my sparky neighbour grabbed it and installed it for me. I think it was about $35 or so. Next time he pops his head over the fence I'll ask and post back.

Thanks Waldo. As luck would have it one last try located something.

But it's exxy. If you see your neighbour Waldo maybe ask what else might be around. No rush.

M22-PVS/KC11/IY looks pretty much what I have, but for a lot less pessos.

So, either FAK-R/V/KC01/IY or FAK-R/V/KC11/IY is more what you are after. The neighbour always pops his head over the fence every night as I shut up the shed about 12:00 or so for a chin wag, I'll ask then.

Cool. Thanks.

Try Blackwoods, or Rexel, Turks.

I thought page 35 was what you were after Ern.

Hmm, TFS 106 might do the job. Thanks . And Prozac.

Hi rsser,
Go to NHP who are in Richmond, they have what you are looking for.
If you do want to wire the foot switch up as an Emergency Stop Control then wire the circuit so you need to rest the circuit when you release the foot switch, this will be in keeping with AS3000 Wiring Rules and Machine Safety Standards.

Regards,
Keith.

Hi, I got a few from Jaycar, there are branches all over (NSW?), around $17 ea

Timbecon have a pre wired safety switch but it's not the mushroom type, more the paddle type. $58 plus postage. They were about $30 last time I looked, price rises astound me this year.

Nice and cheap but you'll have to buy a box and wire it up.

Thanks guys. I'll get on the dog and bone tomorrow.

Keith, I don't understand this: "wire the circuit so you need to rest the circuit when you release the foot switch" but I'll ask the retailer. Seems like emergency stop switches come in at least a couple of types.

Think he means RESET
