O'SKOOL Configurable Automatic Vacuum Switch for Power Tools with Dual Tool Outlets, Load-Sensing Delayed On/Off Dust Collector Controller for Cleaner Workshop and Reduced Airborne Dust

Working in a woodworking shop means dealing with an inevitable reality—sawdust everywhere. But dust management isn't just about aesthetics; it's about protecting your health, extending tool lifespan, and maintaining a safe workspace. The O'SKOOL Configurable Automatic Vacuum Switch transforms your dust collection system from a manual chore into an intelligent, automated solution.

Workflow Drag From Manual Switching

Reaching for a vac switch between every pass breaks rhythm. It's easy to forget, especially in batch work. The O'SKOOL automatic vacuum switch removes that step. Start your tool and the vacuum follows. Stop the tool and the vac keeps going just long enough to clear the line.

By automating dust collection, you're investing in your health, protecting your tools, and improving your workshop efficiency. The device pays for itself through reduced tool maintenance, improved air quality, and enhanced productivity.

This feature is particularly valuable during large projects requiring frequent tool changes, allowing seamless transitions without reconfiguring your dust collection setup.

Triple Vacuum Modes for Maximum Flexibility

Auto Mode

The primary operational mode that detects tool activation and starts the vacuum simultaneously. When the tool stops, the vacuum continues for 10 seconds to complete cleanup.

All On Mode

Continuous vacuum operation regardless of tool status—ideal for extended cleanup sessions or when using tools that don't trigger auto-mode activation.

Slave Off Mode

Disables vacuum operation even when tools are running.

Master, Slave, and Configurable Outlet System

Master Outlet

Connect your primary power tool here. The switch detects power activation and triggers the slave outlet accordingly.

Slave Outlet

Your shop vac or dust collector connects here, automatically powering on with the master tool and maintaining the 10-second delay after shutdown.

Configurable Outlet

This unique feature can function as either master or slave, enabling:

• Multiple vacuum coordination
• Secondary tool integration

Delayed Shutoff Function: Complete Dust Clearance

The 10-second delayed shutoff prevents dust backflow—a common problem when vacuums stop immediately with tools. 

Advantages:

• Clears hoses of residual dust and debris
• Reduces airborne particles after work completion
• Prevents dust settling in tool motors and mechanisms
• Maintains cleaner air quality throughout your workspace

Plug-and-Play Installation and Operation

Simple Setup Process:

• Plug the switch into your wall outlet
• Connect your power tool to the Master outlet
• Plug your dust collection system into the Slave outlet
• Select your preferred vacuum mode

The system is immediately operational, making it perfect for beginners and professionals alike who want reliable automation without technical complexity.

Wide Tool Compatibility

Compatible with virtually any 120V power tool under 15 amps (1785W):

• Table saws and miter saws
• Sanders (orbital, belt, disc)
• Routers and trim routers
• Planers and jointers
• Drills and drill presses
• Scroll saws and band saws
• Shop vacuums and dust extractors

Who Should Buy the O'SKOOL Vacuum Switch?

• Professional Woodworkers & Contractors: If your income depends on time efficiency and a safe working environment, this switch is a game-changer.

• DIYers and Hobbyists: For weekend warriors working on home improvement or furniture builds, it adds a layer of polish and professionalism to your shop.

FAQ

Q1: Can I use the O'SKOOL vacuum switch with any shop vac?

A1:Yes, as long as your shop vac operates on 120V and does not exceed 15 amps.

Q2: What happens if I exceed the 15-amp limit?

A2: Exceeding the limit may trip your circuit breaker or potentially damage the switch. Always verify your tool's power requirements before use.

Q3: Can I change the 10-second delay?

A3:The delay is preset to balance cleanup and noise. It's long enough to clear hoses without keeping the vac running unnecessarily.
