if the power goes off does the switch reset or do you have to press the start button again?

The Switch is a mechanical switch, you have to press the on button with a good force to start them any bump on the stop will "pop" it out of the connect/on mode. So if the power goes put the switch will be in the same state is was before the power outage. I ALWAYS bump the stop paddle before anything, plugging it in , restarting, I'm using it on my router setup.

Could this be used on a band saw?

It can be used on any tool with a 3 prong plug.

Most switches declare for use with 1/2 horse power tools. what is the hp rating for this switch ? i am operating a freud ft2200 vce 3.25hp 15 amps.

I am running it on a 2 1/4 HP DeWalt router rated at 12 amps, no problems. I don't see any rating on the switch itself, HP or amps although the website says 15 amps which should square with your router's maximum draw. I know there are some really funny HP ratings on portable power tools. A table saw with a normal 2.5 HP motor would probably require 15 amps at 220 volts. I run my Unisaw on a dedicated 20 amp 220v circuit. Not much specific help on your question, but I think I would wing it!

What are the dimensions as I have limited room?

Stop handle is 3.5 inches wide x 5 1/2 inches in length top down. The electrical box is 2.5 inches wide x 4 1/4 inches in length. I mounted mine on my router table.
