I have a foot pedal controlled router! :thumbsup:

The router is 110V and switching the transformer on and off bypassed the router's soft start and electric braking. I didn't really want to modify the router switch as I would like to remove it from the router table and use it hand held sometimes.

So I fettled some wood, a brake cable and a brake lever.

The pedal now works the switch as if hand held.
I just need to put a cover over the foot switch so it isn't accidentally activated, and fit an isolator switch to the transformer.

A well deserved :cuppa: is brewing.

That's my genius, that is...

Brilliant! I love the way you can still see that it's a brake lever too!

Shame about the tractor tyre though. It's all those sharp flints and stuff you've lined the hallway with....

I need tea. I've just sat through a play. Bits of it were alright, but it wasn't really my sort of thing...

Not looking forward to the next few hours. Hoping Blackburn hospital can do a patch job on my mum.
Can't sleep.

Hope things turn out OK Gromit :hugs:

Our adopted cat (ie next door neighbours cat) has just decided he needed more room on the arm of the sofa and kicked my laptop off :ohmy:
Or he would have if it weren't for my lightening quick reactions :ph34r:

:cuppa: and a bowl of Special K is served :hungry:

Don't you mean the cat just kicked the laptop off the arm and onto your lap? :giggle:

No, luckily it happened in a brief moment of not having either a cuppa or a biskit in my hands at the time :giggle:

Did anyone read about the 'Human Doughnut' in the papers yesterday?
I assumed it was going to be about a certain female Somerset bumpkin but it wasn't :whistle:


Off before I get :boxing:
