Ortis Automatic Vacuum Switch 2‑Outlet 120V/15A — 1s On / 7s Off Delay for Circuit Protection & Cleaner Workshop

Ortis Automatic Vacuum Switch is a dual-outlet device that automatically delays vacuum on/off to protect circuits and keep your workshop cleaner.

Designed for busy woodworking and metalworking benches, this vacuum switch coordinates your tools and dust extractor so the vacuum starts slightly after a tool powers up and shuts off a few seconds after work ends. That staggered timing reduces startup current spikes that can trip breakers, captures more dust before it escapes, and removes the hassle of manually toggling the extractor. The compact unit supports two power tools at once, offers simple mounting options, and is built with safety-rated cords and flame-retardant materials for reliable everyday use.

How does the delay feature prevent circuit overload?

The Ortis switch inserts a brief 1-second delay when turning the vacuum on and a 7-second delay when turning it off (in auto mode), which staggers motor start-up and reduces simultaneous current draw. By avoiding instant full-load starts from both tool and vacuum, you lower the chance of tripping breakers or causing voltage sag that affects sensitive equipment.

• 1-second vacuum-on delay reduces inrush current overlap.
• 7-second vacuum-off delay captures residual dust before shutdown.
• Auto mode manages timing without manual intervention.
• Helps protect 120V/15A circuits and workshop panels.

Which tools and vacuums work with this Ortis switch?

The switch accepts a wide range of shop tools from handheld routers and sanders to larger stationary machines like miter and table saws, provided the connected motor does not exceed 120V/15A (1875W). It was designed to be universal for most North American power tools and standard dust extractors used in small shops.

• Compatible with routers, sanders, planers, jointers, and saws.
• Max rating: 120V, 15A, 50/60Hz, 1875W.
• Two tool outlets let you daisy-chain devices without extra strips.
• Works with most shop vacuums and central dust collectors under rating.

What safety and installation features should I expect?

Ortis builds the unit with UL-rated 14AWG cords and reinforced copper cores to handle higher currents while reducing heat buildup. The enclosure uses V0 flame-retardant materials and the package includes two mounting options—screw fasten or traceless adhesive—so you can secure the switch where it fits your workflow.

• UL-certified American standard 14AWG power cords for safety and durability.
• V0-rated flame-retardant housing reduces fire risk and extends life.
• Screw and traceless adhesive mounting for flexible placement.
• Design minimizes heat generation during heavy use.

How will this switch change my workshop routine?

With automatic on/off sequencing and two tool outlets, you’ll spend less time turning equipment on or off and more time cutting, sanding, or routing. The delayed shutoff also catches stray dust created at the end of a cut, improving air quality near workpieces and reducing cleanup time.

• Auto mode starts extractor without remembering to flip switches.
• Dual outlets reduce cord clutter and extra power strips.
• Delay captures fine dust, reducing airborne particles after use.
• Simplifies workflow in small shops and garage workshops.

Who is this for: The Ortis Automatic Vacuum Switch is aimed at hobbyists, serious DIYers, and small-shop professionals who run multiple power tools on limited circuits and want cleaner, safer, more efficient dust management. If you use routers, sanders, saws or central vac systems and want to protect breakers, cut down airborne dust, and streamline tool setup, this switch is a practical, safety-minded upgrade.
