M/S outlet (AC)

[bibster]

Hi all,

Maybe not the right forum to post this question, but...

I'm looking for a schematic or so, to make a Master/Slave AC outlet switch thinggy....
Let me explain this a bit further

I'd like my vacuum to switch on with my saw, so I thought some box with two outlets: One master, one Slave, and as soon a I start using the master (eq. turn my saw on) the slave one switches on as well, thus powering the hoover.
(Thus keeping the garage clean, the wife happy and the dinner ready...)

Any pointers? (Or should I just buy one? Naaa.. that's no fun!)

If this is a table saw, you might be able to install a power outlet for the Hoover and wire it AFTER the table saw switch.

No, it's a hand saw... and I'd like to use it for my router, mij jigsaw etc.. as well...

Well, I think I'd better buy one of those outlet-strips they use for switching on your printer etc. together with your PC...
like this one ..

Cheers, Paul
