So, how does your switch mount to the cabinet?
Does it have a big
plastic nut that secures it in the hole?

Took a better look and some pictures.

The switch is about 2-1/4 inches long (body), 1-3/4 inches
across (not counting lugs), 1-3/16 inches between two
mounting screws and about a 3/8 inch hole is used. The
pictures should make more sense of it:

This is from the HF 45861 9x20 lathe. It is about 3 years
old. The escutcheon just sets/slips over the blue plastic
piece the screws go through. The knob uses a slotted set
screw. Notice the jumpers used on the screw terminals. I
don't know if those would come with the switch or not. You
may have to make/install them yourself. The HF manual can be
found he

It leaves much to be desired...

This switch is subtly different than the one pictured in the
Grizzly manual. Suspect it is basically the same thing
though (shrug).
