I absolutely love having this switch on my router table. To me, this actually improves my shop safety. I quickly developed a pattern that I feel is more deliberate and safer. When I'm ready to turn on the machine I turn on the table switch, look around one last time, position myself and the piece and engage the foot switch. If I have to mill multiple pieces in one session and want to turn off the router between, I leave the table switch on and just use the foot switch. When I'm done with a batch, however, I always turn off the table switch.
