Hi folks. Well, my router table build kind of stalled after Xmas due to a succession of health issues so I was only able to get little bits done. My current enforced isolation however (For various reason I fall into the high risk category for the damned virus so I'm part way through at least 12 weeks isolation, just as I'm starting to get back to normal :frown: ) has given me the opportunity to crack on with it and it's almost finished.
My biggest issue now is the switch. I bought this one https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07Q7NFPQQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 which is a generic KJD17BD the same as the one that DesertRatTom recommended. I've wired it up according to the diagram on the side of the switch through a choc block as per the attached diagram. 'IN' is obviously power in and 'OUT' leads to a plug socket on the back of the router table which the router plugs into. At the moment, as the router is still in warranty I don't want to do anything that might void that which includes cutting off the moulded plug hence the plug socket. In the future I will wire the router straight in to the switch and rewire the plug socket so it's just a straight through extension socket.
As far as I can tell, everything should be good but, when I turn the router on it will only run as long as I hold the on button in. As soon as I let that go, the router turns off. I'm sure I saw a thread here regarding the same issue with this switch but stuffed if I can find it now.
If anyone has any advice as ever, it would be most gratefully received.
