I have a foot pedal controlled router! 
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
is brewing.
