I am wiring up a 110V outlet to go on the side of my table saw outfeed
I know I can get 110 from this by putting the black wire on one of the 220V
outlets hot post and the
white wire on the neutral ...now...should the green wire (in the cord going
to the new outlet) also
go to the same post as the white / neutral since both are at ground
potential?

No, it should go to the ground connection. If your 220V outlet does
not have a ground wire, then make the 110V outlet a GFCI type.

I forgot, leave the green wire unconnected if you don't have a
real ground connection. Do not connect it to the neutral wire.
