Q: What are the cutout dimensions for this switch? I am trying to replace a switch on a Reliant 12 speed floor drill press that ha a 22mm X 30mm cutout.

The cutout dimensions are 20mmx35mm. Hope this helps

Q: Can this switch be installed using an electrical metal box designed for residential use?

Sure, you would have to use a metal junction box cover plate and make a rectangular cutout to match the size given in the product specifications. Only easy way without a sheetmetal shop to make the rectangular cutout needed would be to use a multi-tool with a metal cutting blade.

Q: how hard is it to wire this switch

It is pretty easy - getting the old switch out was harder than wiring the new one .

Q: how and where can i get just the yellow 2 prong part of this switch?

You can't. However the high current causes these switches to fail in time. By a new switch and use the insert. If the switch ever fails you will have one in stock

Good switch.

Used this to replace the previous version of a Grizzly switch on a 12" disk sander.Worked perfectly, and was plug and play. Changing the broken switch out took less than 20 minutes.I would consider changing out other switches, but I'm lazy. This paddle is a nice compromise between simple toggles and bigger paddles.

Fits, works, shipped fast. Reasonable price.

Fit my Shop Fox perfectly and fixed what I thought was going to be a dead dust collector.

Switch fit perfect and hooked up easily

Switch fit perfect and hooked up easily. Can't touch the price, Sears Parts Direct wanted $56 so I can by this switch 8 times before I reach a break even point. Shipped as promised and had my table saw up and running quickly

good switch

Very happy, this is a Grizzly OEM replacement safety switch. It comes as shown and as described. I did not actually buy this for a Grizzly brand machine but it fit exactly as the one I replaced which was a cheap chines hunk of crapola... It is certainly much higher quality so yes i would recommend it and I will be buying more if any more of my machine switches decide to crap out.

Fits some Craftsman saws.

Replaced on Craftsman saw that Sears wanted over twice the price. Very happy. Research on size, fit payed off. Do your homework and sometimes you win. Great price.
