I suspect many on this forum have found ways to make tools more usable, particularly when the interlocks almost prevent the use of the tool. I'll bet there are some entertaining stories to be shared in this regard.
Today I was vacuuming sawdust from the bandsaw, and the vacuum gulped down the little interlock insert in the electrical switch. About a millisecond later, I remembered that I did this once several years ago. That time I tore open the shop vac bag, dug through the filth until I found it. This time, I had a different approach:
That red material could easily be used as a replacement for the wing spars. It took about 5 or 10 minutes of chewing to bust that sucker off from the switch.
