Hey Gang,
I just ordered a remote control for my DC from Woodcraft. They have both 110 and 220 on sale right now.

I have been waiting for someone to put them on sale. I was looking at the Long Ranger also, but this one has a much smaller remote transmitter. Like a key fob for your car alarm. The LR unit has a large transmitter unit, looks to be maybe 4" or 5" long.
Just thought I'd pass it on in case anyone else is looking.

That is a great price for a remote starter. I have to dis-agree on the size of the Long Ranger remote starter - ever dropped it in a pile of shaving after a day of bowl turning?? Thats when you appreciate the size... That being said, I have a number of rare earth magnets on my lathe and the remote is now stuck to one.
 
Remote starters for a dust collector are wonderful!! I've had one I purchased from Grizzly several years ago. The one I have is a Shop Fox from Grizzly and their current regular price on it (for the 110V) is $44.95. (The Grizzly catalog shows the 220V one for $39.95.) I got mine on a sale and was very reasonable when I purchased it.
 
Hey Tom, I noticed the backward price too. Everyone else, the 220 is more. Puzzling. Rudy, I like the idea of magnets to keep it handy. Thanks for the tip.
 
Check around the local hardware stores. A friend bought a remote sold for Christmas tree lights. It was rated enough for the small dust collector he has. Also take a look at what I think is the X10 system. Used for appliances and lights around the house. Use an appliance module for machinery. Just check the ratings on the machinery and the modules available.

If you get one with a small remote, turn a keychain with a large piece of wood, will be easier to find that way.

I keep a number of these rare earth magnets on my lathe's head and tail stock to hold bushings and the nuts for the mandrels (B left on headstock, the A size right on the tail stock). Furthermore, I have one of these magnetic tools holder strips mounted on the cabinet of my lathe to hold tools (like gouges don't roll away etc) and some more rare earth magnets to hold the wrenches for the Beall chuck. On my drill press the magnet holds the chuck key as well, and on the band saw the little hex key.
These magnets are real handy to have around the shop for a lot of things.
