Thank you in advance!

I am wiring up a 110V outlet to go on the side of my table saw outfeed
extension table recently built.
I would like to tap this off of the 220V outlet for the table saw,
directly
beneath the new bench.
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.

Wrong answer. That does not keep a fault between the neutral and ground
from lighting up the frame of the saw with 110v. You need to have a four
conductor plug and wire, and the white wire on the 110 plug should be
completely separate and isolated from the ground connections of the saw
frame. The ground of the 110 should still be connected to the ground of the
saw. If you want to use a GFCI, by all means, do.

To be completely right, the receptacle should be wired with 4 wires, all the
way to the box, with separate ground, neutral, and two hot feeds.
