I am just getting the conduit in my garages ready for power, i have been mounting the sockets and this made me think about my lathe, i want the lathe to be hardwired and the switch to be padlockable to stop Thomas loosing a finger or worse later on.

Spot on- three pole rotary isolator, when its off its lockable, there is a hole in the red part that lines up with the hole shown there on the left side of the yellow part, stick a padlock on and voila, just don't use the iso to stop it while running they are not designed to switch under load.

I have also seen in a workshop before a small hole drilled into the plastic switch with an r clip through it so it couldnt be switched on, simple but quite clever. Drives

Good idea Wolfie, my dad did not lock anything off, instead he put the fear of god into me about all the gear in the garage, for example that the MIG welder would make me instantly blind, the angle grinder would chop off my hand if I touched it etc.

Just put the switch high up. then it will be at least ten years before he can get anywhere near it. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Indeed, wouldn't rely on putting a switch up high.
