Hi Tim

I have 3 or 5 of them,, they are called dead man type, they sit on the floor and if you lift your foot off of them the machine will stop I have them on my band saw and the scroll saw as well ,they work great here's a link to one of them. You can find them in many types...most are about the same price, I do like the smaller ones...they really work great on the scroll saw, if I get into a jam I just lift my foot and move the stock around..


I like the foot type because my hands are always full of stock.. LOL and some times I don't want to let go to turn off the machine..the buttons are sometimes hard to find if you're in a toot...

Rockler has a very nice one that you can turn off by bumping it with your knee. $30.
If the Sears on can do the same and is made OK, that would be a better deal.
