Tork Craft Soft Start Switch Set (53/55) Service Kit (TCAG0230-SK13)
At a Glance: Replacement soft start switch component set (parts 53 & 55) for the Tork Craft TCAG0230 angle grinder
Soft start is the feature that stops a grinder from launching itself out of your hands the moment you pull the switch. It ramps up speed more gently, improving control and reducing mechanical stress on gears and bearings. When the soft start switch components fail, you may experience a harsh “jerk” at start-up, inconsistent switching, cutting out, or a grinder that simply refuses to behave. The Tork Craft TCAG0230-SK13 Soft Start Switch Set replaces the parts referenced as 53 and 55, helping restore smoother start-up behaviour and more predictable control on your TCAG0230.
Designed for the Tork Craft TCAG0230 platform, this kit is ideal for workshop electrical repairs and rebuilds where switching performance and start-up control need to be returned to spec. Install correctly, secure wiring properly, and test safely before returning the tool to service.
Features
- Soft start control repair: Replaces the soft start switch component group used in the TCAG0230 assembly.
- Parts reference match: Covers parts 53 and 55 as per the service diagram reference.
- Improves switching consistency: Helps restore predictable on/off behaviour and controlled start-up.
- Model-specific compatibility: Intended for use with the Tork Craft TCAG0230 angle grinder.
Benefits
- Better start-up control: Smoother ramp-up reduces sudden torque reaction in your hands.
- Reduced mechanical stress: Gentler starts can reduce shock loading on gears, bearings and the drivetrain.
- More reliable operation: Fresh switching components can resolve intermittent cut-outs and inconsistent running.
Extra Information
- Compatibility: Intended for the Tork Craft TCAG0230 angle grinder series.
- Common symptoms of soft start/switch issues include hard start-up jolts, intermittent running, or the tool not switching on reliably.
- While servicing, inspect the power cord, terminals, brush holders and carbon brushes — electrical faults often have more than one cause.
- Route wiring exactly as original and ensure insulation sleeves/cable guides are refitted to prevent chafing.
Pro Tip
- Before closing the housing, double-check every terminal connection is seated firmly and no wires can touch rotating parts. After reassembly, do a short no-load test run and confirm the grinder ramps up smoothly instead of jolting to full speed.
