Bakelite is warmer to the touch, and would not conduct a shock if the machine had a short.

Bakelite, is an ancient product. A thremoset plastic. Surly there is a modern material the will work. Nylon, polyester, ABS, PVC, polycarbonate, any of these and others will better serve you than Bakelite.

Make it out of plastic, as Mike said.

The modern material used for start/stop buttons looks just like bakelite. I wonder what it is? Bakelite was quite heat resistant, made good handles and buttons. I don't think it 'cold flowed' like so many modern handles do.

What are the reasons?

Your equipment is 20-40 years behind the rest of the world.
