Well there's your problem, isn't it. A non-locking switch is enough

I'm pretty sure that most, if not all, now have this courtesy of the

Locking switches aren't extinct yet, although they're certainly
getting rare.

Does anyone know (ie can cite the real regulation) just what the

I looked at the offset trenching base that Trend makes.

My router's standard baseplate has too big a central hole, so I made a

it's made in two pieces that interlock on a large hexagon. I can
adjust the offset, yet keep the router facing towards me.
