Remote Control for Dust Collector

This is an inexpensive way to easily add remote control to your shop's dust collector or dust control system, fume hood, filter or filtration unit. This comes with receivers for 3 devices, one remote transmitter. It will handle 15 amps at 110 volts so it is useful for most shop equipment.

Great idea, just ordered one, and it was on sale. @ $24. And change. You make great content videos, and have really helped me out many times.🙏. Thank you.

Hey, I just have to say THANK YOU for this great idea. I had purchased several other, far more expensive, remote units and none were successful, especially for the money. I purchased one of the outdoor remotes as you suggested and, well, wow. Simple is best. I used some Velcro to attach the remote to the switch on my table saw (painted the off switch red, to make it easy to identify) and this thing just works... for $12 too! (and to the question below, about using on on a 1.5 HP dust collector, it handles my Shop Fox unit with no trouble at all, unlike some of the more expensive units, rated for higher amps, that would not).

Really appreciate your sharing this and I just ordered one for my system.

Your shop looks amazing. Thanks for tip. I have 2 shop vacuums and an air filter that the remotes will be used.

What kind of dust collector are you running? Is it a shop vac, or is it one of the big industrial ones?

After a year of use, how’s it working? Just curious since the Jet Dust Collector has a 1HP motor and the remote switch is rated for 1/2HP. Thanks.

I am not an electrician, but Can 15 amp cover 1 1/2 hp dust collector?
Thanks

15 amps. My Harbor Freight 2hp is a 20 amp. If yours is also does it ever pop the fuse?
