I have a small router table, haven't used it yet, and want to upgrade from a 25 yr old 500 watt router. Found one at a nearby shed and once I got it out of the box, discovered that it can't be made to run permanently switched on. It has the commonplace safety device of only operating if you are pressing on the switch. Obviously, that can't work in a router table. (Or have I misunderstood the whole thing?) Is that universal now? If anyone can recommend a router for occasional use (like, less than =A3100) that can work underneath a router table, I'd be very glad to hear about it.
