Re: Question on routers and router tables

A safety feature, sure, in that you don't have a dangerous bit spinning
endlessly after you've finished your cut and you're either waiting to
remove the workpiece from harm's way or you're done with the operation.
You've shut the router off; now it would be nice to move on with your next
operation or train of thought without fear of absentmindedly encountering
that spinning bit. In many cases a spinning bit or blade is simply a time
waster; you're waiting for the dumb thing to stop so you can set that
router down, make a height adjustment, reposition a fence, etc. A
stationary cutter is a safer cutter.

I suppose that would be a nice feature if the router came with it but I have
no problem waiting 5 or 6 seconds for the bit to spin down to a stop. I
had a serious run in with a TS blade about 20 years ago. I have learned to
be patient and watch the blade or bit actually stop spinning if I don't walk
away. Getting in a too big of a hurry will eventually catch up with you.
