Hello
For the last decade I've been using a Dewalt D625E 1/2" 230v router fixed into a router table. The table has a 'No volt release switch' fixed on the side with the router plugged into the back of it. The router itself is left permanently switched on. This router now needs replacing so I bought a Makita of a similar size but found it had a built in NVR switch. Consequently, when it was switched off, the only way to start or restart was to get under the back of the table and use the switch on the router. At first I thought it was a fault and returned it to the supplier for a refund. I then decided to replace it with the new but more expensive Dewalt DW625EKT 1/2" to avoid any further problems . However, on looking at its specifications on the Axminster website, it appears that this model now has the same built in NVR switch. As far as I'm aware this 'family of 1/2" routers' have been widely used with a router table but how can this be practical using this type of switch in the machine? I'd be grateful if anyone could advise on how to get around the problem and/or recommend an alternative make of router that would let me return using my bench top NVR switch!
Many thanks
