{"product_id":"footswitch-fs","title":"Proxxon Footswitch FS — Hands-Free On\/Off for Micromot \u0026 Bench Tools Up to 500W (No. 38700)","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoth hands on the work, not the switch. The Proxxon Footswitch FS lets you start and stop your tool with a tap of your foot — keeping both hands free to control the workpiece, guide a cut, or hold a fixture. It's a simple upgrade that makes a real difference in precision and safety, especially when using drill stands, lathes, or any bench tool where repositioning your hand to hit a switch breaks your concentration or your grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax power:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500W (5\/8 hp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlug type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two-prong\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Foot-operated on\/off switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 358g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart No.:\u003c\/strong\u003e 38700\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBest Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrill press \/ drill stand work:\u003c\/strong\u003e Start the drill with your foot while both hands position and hold the workpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLathe operations:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stop the spindle instantly without releasing the workpiece or tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotary tool work:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toggle power while keeping both hands on the tool and material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAny bench tool up to 500W\u003c\/strong\u003e with a two-prong plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tools is this compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Footswitch FS works with any machine drawing up to 500W (5\/8 hp) with a two-prong plug — including Proxxon Micromot rotary tools, drill stands, and bench machines within that power range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it work with the Proxxon NG 5\/E adapter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ac-adapter-ng-5-e\"\u003eNG 5\/E AC Adapter\u003c\/a\u003e is within the 500W limit and compatible with the footswitch for hands-free speed-controlled operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a momentary or latching switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe FS operates as an on\/off toggle — press once to start, press again to stop.
