Bolduc grand removal blade

[PAULREVENKOJONES]

David:

I have several foot treadles from Harbor Freight that are now years old and work quite well even under a large tool load. I don't know if they still carry them, but check it out. I've been using Andre's blade from the day it came on the market with always great fear and much success so far. But the foot treadle works quite well to keep my hands on the tool for control.

What I would like to find is an appropriate foot control switch for this 
thing so that I don't have to take my hand(s) off of it to turn it on. 
Anyone have any experience with purchasing a foot control device of this 
type?

David,  Everyone is right.  The first time is the scariest.  And a separate 
speed control will work (Rockler is the one I have used).  And it is very 
important that you don't run it too fast, as it can jump  (I took a chunk 
out of the bottom of a Steinway stretcher board when I used a rheostat from 
my key bushing iron and found that the router blew the fuses- I said oh 
well, full speed ahead). Upon insertion, it jumped, and I about lost the 
thing.  I had an assistant turn it on and off for me after that, while I 
kept BOTH hands firmly on the router. 
   After the first time, however, things are more comfortable, and the tool 

is GREAT.  Clark
