Is this switch like a magnetic switch?

71008 is not a magnetic switch. If you need one, please check out our POWERTEC 71054 120V Magnetic Paddle Switch.

how much pressure to press the off button?

Funny you should ask this question! I bought the switch months ago, to retrofit a dust collector's bad switch. The dust collector is plugged into a remote on/off unit, so I rarely use the unit's switch, until two days ago. I had to relocate the dust collector and just plugged into a wall socket. The on side had a definite click to it, however to off side was spongy and, in fact, I had to push it several times to make sure the unit was off. To answer your question, I cannot tell exactly how much pressure was required, but it definitely did not seem normal.

Delta 36-725t2. anyone have a suggestion on how to mount this switch to a delta 36-725t2 table saw (as the original switch is built into the “box”)?

Mount one electric switch box to the saw and then put the new switch in the electric box.

Is this a single or double pole switch?

If it is rated for 220 volts it must be double pole - must switch both lines. I use this switch for 220 volt dust collector.
