So how does one find a foot switch, and wire it?

Clipper makes them, I bought mine from McMaster Carr.
Get the larger one, it scoots around on teh floor less.

For a single phase motor I just wire it in series
with the column mounted switch - so I need to have
the pedal down and the switch up to get it to run.

My former boss used to call the switch on the
column the "anti-suprise-mode switch!"

I have one on one of my drill presses and enclosed it in a plywood box
made of 3/4" ply. Helps protect the switch from accidental activation
and makes it very hard to move by accident
