I had been using my portercable router on a routing table and had
to take it to a jobsite to do a couple of things. When I went to
use it, I had set it on a worktable and bent down to plug the
cord into the wall socket behind the table. When I plugged it
in, it was on. It started up (soft start) and stayed right where
it was, not falling onto my head with the 3/4" dado bit in it,
without the base.

I always thought the soft start was nice, but now I find that I
just love it for some reason.
