Have a Craftsman Bench Grinder model 397.19391. Looking for a toggle switch for it, or suitable replacement. Switch is no longer available, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a possible replacement. Thanks! - John

I don't know model #'s off the top of my head, but if your referring to the rectangular switch on the block grinders I saw an ebay auction for one that the seller claims to be a good fit its not the original colors but looks the same. The swich on mine just broke a couple days ago, so I need to make the same repair.

I haven't. chcked my model number or whether there is an exact physical replacement available now but my switch went too and I could not get an exact match so I went with one that was a little larger but would comfortably fit in the available space and had a high enough rating. A little filing and I was back in business. This was pre internet. Today I think I might find one with the same cutout dimensions. If not, do what I did.

Gracias folks! After 40 years, I guess it's done it's job...lol
Here's a couple of links on replacements and repair for the plastic toggle style switches, like the one below.

BTW - I think this one was NIB, and found by a member.
