Having an on/off switch for your shop vac can make a huge difference in your cleaning workflow. The switch can be installed on the cord or directly on the vac itself.
The cord-mounted switch is a popular choice because it's easy to install and can be placed in a convenient location, such as near the power outlet. This switch is also relatively inexpensive.
A cord-mounted switch can be installed in about 10-15 minutes with basic tools.
Automatic Power Saw Switch
A current sensing switch can be purchased for around $30, but it's not necessary for a simple setup.
Spending twice as much money and four times as long to build a custom solution is an option, but it's not the most practical choice.
Leaving the vacuum switch in the on position and using another switch to control power to both tools at the same time is a viable solution.
This setup works well, allowing you to switch off both tools with one switch and turn them on with another.
