Do you run a dust collector in your shop? READ THIS NOW!

[Allan]

I sort of do when I can easily switch it on. I don't run it the whole time because of the noise.

THIS HAS ALL CHANGED!

I just came from Lowes where my wife wanted a last minute table center.
They are selling off just about all of the Christmas stuff at 75% off...
I just bought a 15amp. remote control switching system for less than $4.00. It is meant for switching out door tree lighting and is weather resistant. It came with a four socket waterproof distributor too.
It is going on the lead from my shop vac. I now have a remote control dust collection system.

If your local Lowes has these, they will not last!

I run my dust collector all the time. I repair instruments for a living, so I'm in my shop all day, and I don't want to be breathing that stuff. All of my power tools are connected to it, as well as a sanding table that I made using pegboard for the top. I do my hand sanding there and all of the dust goes right down into the table. I've got a remote switch, and I agree: it's the coolest thing ever!

Same here. I have a regular light switch hanging from a flew cord in the ceiling. It activates a doo-hickey switchy thingie near the dust collector. Neatest thing since sliced bread.
I agree with Allan..its a noisy son of a gun.
