The switch on my Bosch miter saw went South. After fiddleflecking around with it for a while, I was convinced that it’s dead.
I called a local dealer/repair place, but they wanted $35 for the switch,I looked around online and didn’t see any real parts distributers.
Do any of you know of a place that I could have the part shipped/mailed to me? I’d rather not run around for parts if I don’t have to. It’s almost the weekend, and I have a back-up saw to borrow for a few days.

I don't know if they are the best place for parts and I haven't had to order any parts but I have used there assembly diagrams to work on a couple of power tools, these exoploded diagrams can be very helpful in getting things apart without breaking anything, and they do seem to carry Bosch parts. I did a quick search for a Bosch miter saw and if you have the 10" model they seem to want $23.60 for it. I'm not sure what they want for S&H.

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming....
WOW!!! What a Ride!
I have been known to put other than OEM switches in a tool. If it is just on off it should be no problem. My ryobi 1/6 sheet sander starts when it is plugged in. got that handrail finished."Necessity is a mother."
