None of those switches work with a 220 Volt PowerPro, and even for 110 Volt they could only be used for an emergency shut-off. applying power to a PowerPro only boots the computer.

I guess you are at the mercy of Nova and Shopsmith. You'll just have to wait until they release a design change to provide you with remote control.

In the mean time, don't cut so many large sheets of plywood so that you can work within arms reach of the on/off.
