Great addition, Darren!
I upgraded the switches on my router table and both bandsaws to this type of switch several months ago. These are latching relay, not magnetic, but they accomplish similar tasks at a lower cost.
... The one you linked to was rated for smaller motors, but looks like there is a 110v/220v higher amperage one here for about $5 more... http://www.amazon.com/Woodstock-D4151-220-Volt-Paddle-Switch/dp/B005W17FRS/ref=pd_cp_hi_0
The specs on Amazon are misleading. It gives a rating of 16A, then states "1/2 HP". The amperage is the important number. For my 220V bandsaw, used this version of the switch.
