DIY Portable Switched Power Outlet With Extension Cord 🔌

In this video I make a safe, robust, portable switched power supply from commonly-available parts. These are very handy to have around the workshop, especially when you need to control tools without an on/off switch, or where the switch is in an inconvenient location. They're also helpful for workbenching, where you need a convenient way to control power to a tool or assembly you're testing. 🔨 Check out my full build article: https://www.glennfrazee.com/projects/... ----------------------------------------------------- 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗟𝗘𝗖𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗔𝗟 𝗖𝗢𝗗𝗘: I recently became aware of National Electrical Code (NEC) Section 525.23. One pertinent Provision of this, which was added in the 2017 revision to the NEC, reads: (𝗗) 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀. Where GFCI protection is provided through the use of GFCI receptacles, and the branch circuits supplying receptacles utilize flexible cord, the GFCI protection shall be listed, labeled, and identified for portable use. Section 525.23 has other verbiage regarding GFCI protection that may be worth reading. As always, you work at your own risk. Don't take electrical wiring advise solely from some guy on YouTube. ------------------------------------------------------ 👍 Turn your porta-bandsaw into a table-mounted saw with one of these: https://amzn.to/2XltiOK Supplies: ​4” by 4” metal junction box (https://amzn.to/2XeIHjZ) Exposed work cover (https://amzn.to/3dYlvMH) Switch (15 amp rated) (https://amzn.to/39EVtLe) Duplex receptacle/outlet (https://amzn.to/2JI3ZhT) 14 gauge power supply cord, with ground (https://amzn.to/2UZ1QUm) 18” of green 14 gauge wire 6” of colored 14 gauge wire Clamp connector and red plastic bushing (https://amzn.to/2JG9mhI) Grounding screw (https://amzn.to/39Loipt) Wire nut (https://amzn.to/3aG1dWm) Tools: Wire strippers (https://amzn.to/39JtjP9) Screwdriver(s) with #2 Phillips and flathead tips (https://amzn.to/34djkkf) Lineman’s pliers (https://amzn.to/39Izpzw) Electrical tape (https://amzn.to/34dPEmX) 🙏 If you want to support what I do, please consider buying through my Amazon Affiliates link: https://amzn.to/2JFKjeQ 🙏 Donate: https://PayPal.Me/glennfrazee ------------------------------------ Follow me on: 🌐 Website: https://www.glennfrazee.com/ 📷 Instagram:   / glenn.frazee   🔨 Instructables: https://www.instructables.com/member/...
