I realize this isn't exactly a woodworking question, but when I asked
about 220 V wiring for my shed in an earlier thread a lot of
electricians came out of the 'woodwork'.

So. I now have 220 V in my shed for my Walker Turner table saw. I
noticed that the plug from the saw only has two wires. The ground is not
connected. My shed has a ground stake. Should I run the ground wire to
the saw? It certainly has a whooping iron chasis.
Should I not do this?

(For those of you who helped me the last time, I finally decided to get
an electrician to wire it. He took the 220V line from my 30 amp circuit
for the house drier (I have a gas drier, so I don't use it), ran #10
wires out to a 30 amp breaker panel in the shed, split out two 110V
circuits and a 20 amp 220v and put in a ground stake. This took him 6
hours. It would have taken me about 2 months).

A ground is never a bad idea. I would add one. I am not familiar with
that TS, so not sure how you would add it. Sure someone here can give you
some help with adding the ground.
