Firstly, nice execution on the router table. Use it well, and safely.
Next, sorry Jim, but I just noticed your remarks about a coiled power cord acting like a motor winding, and I'm afraid I must disagree. In a motor winding you have a single wire. The coil thus has all current flowing in the same direction(irrespective of whether you're using AC or DC), thereby increasing the magnetic field of the entire coil. A power cord, on the other hand, includes two wires, with the current flowing in opposite directions in each, thereby cancelling the local magnetic field. Accordingly, no matter how many "coils" you may have, and no matter how long the power cord may be, there will be a net zero magnetic field in a coiled power cord.
On the other hand, all wire has some inherent resistance, so the longer the wire (or the larger the gauge, i.e., the thinner the wire), the higher that resistance will be and the more power that will be wasted through heating the wire. By the way, that's why it's dangerous to use long extension cords for high amperage appliances (and why I got a call from my college roommate, a math major, between my junior and senior years at MIT, to say that he had burned out our apartment in the fire that he started using the window A/C with a 30' long extension cord).
My advice... coil the power cord, neatly.
