 AC switch ahead of plug on Hitachi slowstart router?
I recently got a KM12VC Hitachi router kit & I like it very much...
BUT...
With it under a router table top, I have found the small switch kinda hard to find when I'm done routing and want to turn it off.
I was thinking of mounting an AC outlet box nearby, with a pig tail for extention cord, plug O/L, and a switch... Plug the router into the plug O/L and turn it ON/OFF with the wall type switch in the box instead of searching for the router switch (which would be ON all the time).
The router has the Slow-start feature which is nice... I like it...
My question:
By using this setup, would the Slow-start feature still work?
I have the feeling that it wouldn't work because I would be switching ahead of the slow-start electronics.
Does anyone know for sure?
Does anyone have a better solution?
TIA... |
