Where can I buy an industrial style control switch to wire my Myford up to - the kind with a recessed green start button and an exposed red stop button?

These are called DOL (Direct On Line) starters, or contactor starters. Ideally you want a forward/reverse/stop version to match the function of the old myford lever switch. These are expensive if purchased new from eg. RS or Farnell.
Sorry to advertise on the ng, but I've got a couple of fwd/rev/stop ones with isolators & thermal trips to sell soon which may be suitable. Either on eBay or directly if you email me.

I got one of the above switches for a router table that I'm making. There are some photos here...

All seems quite sturdy. The mounting slots are on a 130mm centre and are
30mm long, 6mm wide. Comes with a couple of M6 fasteners.
