Wiring A Motor Starter

Hi,

I am currently in the process of building a saw table.
The saw table uses a basic run of the mill 1200W commercially available household circular saw (240V) which I have bolted to the bottom of the table.
I have locked the saw's switch to ON with a bunch of zip ties, so as soon as you plug it in the power outlet, it turns on.

Because a circular saw is extremely dangerous, I figured I could use one of those on/off switch boxes you commonly see on industrial equipment, etc. with one RECESSED ON button, and another EXTRUDING OFF button, so in the event you are accidentally in the middle of an accident, at least you can quickly turn the power off before it gets any worse.

I've tried talking to the local electrician. He suggested I use a DOL starter. Other than that, he wasn't very helpful.

Basically, I would also like to be able to run 2 power tools up to 2400W through the DOL starter. This would be the circular saw, and a router or a dust extraction unit (aka. household vacuum cleaner).

The circuit would start off with a power cable from the power outlet in to the DOL starter.
The DOL starter would then output to a ENCLOSURE, which has a normal double power outlet plate on it (the kind you'd see in your bedroom/kitchen/house wall/etc)
From there, I can plug in my power tools or whatever.

Now, I would rather not use the DOL starter because:
1. I REALLY don't think a circular saw needs any soft start or any overload protection, considering the switch of a circular saw is so basic
2. It costs over $100, which I think is stupid for something that is only going to turn my saw on and off
3. The buttons the DOL starter comes isn't what i'm looking for, and I don't think would fulfill the purpose of being the emergency stop button.

I was thinking of building a box out of wood or maybe get a double insulated enclosure, and attaching appropriate buttons too it. And whatever needs to go inside, goes inside.

Could anyone possibly suggest what I should do, what I should buy and any wiring diagrams/help would be apprieciated.

Thank you,
