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.)

Hi Joe

Your Welcome, one switch will do the job, it will contol both outlets at the same time.
But you need two boxes to hold both devices or just one dual gang box.(switch & dual outlet device)

Yes I do like the new Horz. router table it's great and true as a arrow .
I have found out that .010 " is a big deal when making anything out of wood and the Horz.Table will do that easy.

Just a note*** If you have a standard router table you can add a Horz.router setup by adding it to the back side of your router table if your have a P.C. or one of the routers that just side in or turn in to the router base.
But it would be a hard setup for a Hitachi because you would need unscrew the router from the base every time you wanted to use it for the Horz. setup.

The Horz. is a great way to made panels for doors and cabinets, it's a quick and easy way.
