O'SKOOL PTA029 Configurable Automatic Vacuum Switch | Dual Tool Outlets

Overview

The O'SKOOL PTA029 Configurable Automatic Vacuum Switch is a compact controller that lets your dust-collection system follow your tools with minimal fuss. Housed in a durable PA-765 flame-retardant case and built with a UL-certified 14 AWG power cord and US-standard 3-prong outlets, it emphasizes safety and durability in busy workshops.

Dual outlets and three operating modes

Two independent tool outlets mean you can power a tool and a shop vac without extra power strips. Choose from Auto, All On, or Slave Off to tailor how your tools and vacuum begin and how they respond when you switch tasks.

• Auto mode powers the vacuum when a tool starts.
• All On runs both outlets and the vacuum simultaneously.
• Slave Off gives you manual control for selective use.

Broad compatibility and seamless automation

Designed to work with a wide range of 120 V, 15 A tools—think table saws, routers, sanders, planers, and more—the PTA029 automatically syncs your shop vac or dust-collection system with your woodworking equipment.

Deluxe dust clearing with delayed shutoff

When a tool stops, the vacuum continues for 10 seconds. This brief delay helps clear residual dust from hoses and connections, reducing buildup and keeping airborne particles in check during active projects.

Simple, plug-and-go confidence

• No complex setup—just plug in and begin controlling dust with your existing tools.
• Designed for safety and longevity, featuring UL-certified electrical design and a sturdy flame-retardant housing.
• Versatile for shop layouts with multiple powered tools and a central dust-collection system.

In real-world terms, the PTA029 can streamline workflow by coordinating tool and dust-collection actions, reducing the need for separate switches, and helping you maintain a cleaner, more focused workspace.
