Micro switch/ shop vac

Jerry Gibbs

I want a shop vac to come on automatically when I I switch on the tool. I don’t have a clue where to begin. Any help is appreciated. I found nothing in the articles. Jerry

Finding the right 'search word' usually takes me the longest.

I have one I bought at WoodCraft. A DGC I socket I believe. Paid about $45 for it. Available on Amazon. Worked exactly as expected. Works like the built in one on Festool vacs. Used it with my Ridgid vac until I got the Festool one. Thought the price was a bit steep but I liked.

I confused wiring blast gates to activate dust collector with the switch that has been described. Appreciate the prompt replies.
