Automatic Vacuum Switch, Ortis Vacuum Switch for More Power Tools, Delay Vacuum On/Off to Prevent Circuit Overload and Tripping, Keep Your Workplace Cleaner, Better for Your Lung

This Ortis automatic vacuum switch is a game changer in my workshop. I have it connected to my shop vac and table saw, and it automatically starts the vacuum a second after I power up the tool — then shuts it off a few seconds after I’m done. No more forgetting to turn on the vac or tripping breakers from both running at once. The delay timing is spot on, and it handles my 15-amp saw without issue. It’s simple to set up — just plug in your tool and vacuum, and you’re good to go. The housing feels sturdy, and it hasn’t overheated or tripped once. Tip: Mount it somewhere easy to reach if you switch tools often. It saves time and keeps dust under control. Overall, a small upgrade that makes a big difference. Keeps the air cleaner, saves wear on my vac, and makes the whole setup feel more professional.

Works great; saves time! It seems like it wouldn’t make a big difference, but having your vacuum on automatic mode is a game changer. There’s a one second delay from starting your power tool before the vacuum turns on to prevent surging the circuit. The seven second delay after might be a little long, but definitely helps clear the hose of any residual dust. You can also have 2 tools plugged in at the same time, helpful if going back and forth between say a router and sander.

I salvaged a "whole house" canister vacuum from a neighbor's junk pile and converted it for sawdust collection by adding a cyclone separator & bucket upstream. It does a great job of capturing most of the sawdust from my table saw. This switch is the icing on my cake and really makes everything simple. When I power up the saw, the vacuum starts 1 second later (to minimize power surges), and the 7-second delay on shutdown is timed perfectly to the coast of the saw. I initially thought the single short power cord might be an issue, but it has worked well for me. I have a 10-ft 12 AWG extension cord on a 20A breaker and have zero problems with overloads. Given the specs on my motors, I think a 15A circuit would do as well. Highly recommended!

Works as Advertised! Auto turns on when the tool is on then vacuum sucks it all up! :)

I picked up the Ortis Automatic Vacuum Switch to streamline my shop setup, and I couldn’t be happier. It automatically turns on my shop vac when I power up my tools (like my miter saw or sander), and then turns it off a few seconds after the tool shuts down. It’s one of those little upgrades that makes a big difference. Setup was super easy—just plug in your tool and vacuum, and you're good to go. The delay is just right: it gives enough time to clear the dust without keeping the vac running forever. The build quality feels solid, and I appreciate that it can handle higher power tools without any issues. Now I don’t have to remember to switch the vacuum on and off every time—it’s automatic, clean, and efficient. If you're doing any kind of woodworking or garage work with dust collection, this is a no-brainer. Totally worth it!

I had added this to my garage and like the results so far. Not a huge fan of the delay but overall good product

This thing is great. I had another slightly cheaper one, and the small but important features on this blows the other one out of the water: 1. You can turn the vacuum on its own with the tri-toggle switch! This is huge because before I needed to unplug the vacuum and replug it into a wall outlet, or else turn on my machine quick to get the vacuum running. Huge hassle that this product alleviates when I want to clean something up. 2. Mounting holes are sturdy and flush with the back 3. Two tools can be connected!! 4. It looks great

A great way to automatically turn on the vacuum when using high dust output tools. It's easy to say, "I'm only going to sand for a couple of minutes so I'll skip turning on the vacuum." With this auto switch, the vacuum comes on every time. Having the two outlets is also very convenient as I keep two sanders available with different grits.

Excelente producto, lo he utilizado con Sierra de mesa, router, canteadora y obviamente con la aspiradora. Y todo bien excelente accesorio para el taller.

I wish I had bought this switch sooner. It has made my woodworking much easier. I used to manually turn my shop vac on and off while cutting with my power saws. This switch automates the shop vac, turning it on and off for me. I save so much time not having to worry about the shop vac. Best of all, it removes the mental task of operating the shop vac, allowing me to focus on making cuts. I even consider this a safety device. The only minor issue is that the switch comes with a rather short power cord (about 16 inches). In my case, I have to plug it into an extension cord.

One of the best things I've bought for my shop. Works well and saves me so much time in turning on and shutting off my vaccum cleaner.

Excelente opción, aún que alta en precio funciona de maravilla

A super device that turns on the vac when I start the saw.
