My mom needs a remote control for the dust collector in her woodshop.

Dust collector is a Grizzly model G0562, 3HP single phase 220V/18A. More than a few years old.

So far we've found remotes for 16 amps, so not quite there. Grizzly is quiet with a call back due in a couple of days. It does not have to be a Grizzly product, but just has to meet the electrical specs.

Help me Obi-goons, you're my only hope.

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.

This one should work, might be able to find another supplier that sells the same switch or equivalent. https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/sho...wE&item=03J6220

That one, and others on the site look appropriate. I'd forgotten about Lee Valley.

Thank you!

At school, I have about 20 voice-activated remotes to turn on the dust collector.

So this is funny.

I go to mom's shop today and setting up for a "small project" she's asking me to do. Build a bed. Criminy.

I look under one of the shop tables for some tools and there's a small delivery box that's been opened and collecting dust. It's a replacement remote for the dust collector that she bought last fall and forgot about it. I had it in place and working in 5 minutes.

It's fun helping the parents out as they get older; it truly is, but there are those one second moments in your head where you just think, "Goddamit". I spent half the morning looking on-line at remotes and a replacement is sitting in the shop the whole time.

Thanks goons for the suggestions; problem solved itself. And if you have a good relationship with your parents, take time to enjoy the funny stuff.
