I may be new this but I am pretty sure this isn't supposed to happen

…giggle… I don’t know about YOUR socks, but my socks are soft and flexible…so it is very easy to turn the speed knob as well as turning the router on and off.

I HIGHLY recommend the Bit-Runner…or the DIY version…(which costs about $5 to make)…to turn your router ON/OFF via gcode.
