   I haven't seen this table in a long time, what type of switch does it have?  If you can't get it at the hardware store, Grizzly (grizzly.com) has lots of different switches available.

   I used a switch on my router table that had a 110 plug and switch combo.  I looked like a duplex outlet only with a switch replacing one of the outlets.  It works great.  I cost about $7.

   Sears has a switch you can use.  Removable key, red paddle to punch off and outlet on back to plug-in router, ears to screw to base.  Plastic.

   Also, I made my own using an outdoor electrical box with cover.  Mount a wide flat switch (can't remember what it's called) and screw a thin block of wood inside the cover.  You hit the cover and it turns off.  Flip up and press to turn on.

   And, I think Highland Hardware has a reasonably priced switch for table saws you might like.

   Joe,

   You can build one.  Go to the hardware and buy a 4" x 4" electric box, one wall switch rated for 20 amps, one 20 amp outlet, one box to cord clamp fitting, the shortest 12 gauge extension they have, and a cover plate.  I won't try to tell you how to wire because I don't know your electrical abilities.  If you have the knowledge to wire, it will be a piece of cake for you, otherwise ask some one to show you how to do it.
