Pedal for turning on the power tool with the ability to control its power. Such a pedal is needed for simultaneous work with several instruments. For example, simultaneous operation with a jigsaw and a vacuum cleaner connected to it. When you press the pedal, turn on the vacuum cleaner at the right time. Or when working on a makeshift drill from an electric drill, such a pedal will also be necessary.
This will require:
-Dimmer,
limit switch
- metal plate
- spring
- double socket,
- a piece of plywood,
- cable with electric plug,
- The inside of a single outlet.
Manufacture.
From a double outlet, I applied only the case. I inserted an electric filling from the dimmer and the inside of a single outlet.
The very mechanical part of the "frog" made of an aluminum plate and about the same size of plywood. I connected them like a door hinge with the help of studs and nuts with a diameter of 3mm. In plywood, I cut a groove for the trailer from the old microwave and secured it. Bottom bracket secured a spring.
The electrical circuit is simple: we connect the trailer with a dimmer in series with the circuit, into the “zero” or “phase” gap.
We connect the cable of the desired length with an electric plug installed on it. We fix all the parts, connect the wires and close the case. In an aluminum plate, I drilled a hole for a screw with a nut of the desired height, into which, when pressed on the pedal, the limiter abuts and triggers.
If desired, such a pedal can only be used as a dimmer or extension cord, putting a heavy object on it or fixing it with a clerical clip of the desired size.
