Hi Joe

I also use a swtich on all my router tables I make.
See snapshots below
You can use a two gang type or just one for the switch and one for the out lets. (one switch will control both 110 volt outlets) in this way you have a switch for the router and a outlet for a small vac.or a light in this way your vac.will start up when the router starts up.
I just about always put it on the left side of the router table front/or the side because I'm right handed and if I run into a error making the pass my left hand is free and I can get to the switch quick and easy to power down the router.

You can also get a power switch from Rockler that comes with a guard to keep the kids from turning on the router when you are not looking, that's if you have kids running around the shop from time to time.
But most of the time I just pull the plug when the kids come into the shop, most of the switchs are bright and kids like to play with bright toys.(big red and black ones.)
