I'm wondering if any of you can recommend a switch for this guy. I
looked at the one at Busy Bee Tools but can't say I really like it. For
$18
it seemed kind of cheap. And ugly. I want an emergency stop button, but
I
don't want to have to have the router plugged in to the front of it. That
is, I just want the switch to show. I'll unplug the router from inside
the
cabinet. It's got to be able to handle the 15Amps the router will draw
(is
it 18A on startup?).

I put my outlet on the outside because I really like unplugging the router
before changing bits; which I suppose you could still do inside, but
probably wouldn't.

I have never measured my router, but typically motors draw three times their
normal current on startup. (My refrigerator draws 8X)
