OOPS #2,741 - and that’s just THIS month.

ALMOST glued my dust collector remote INSIDE a torsion box on which I
was glueing the top. Got so focused on clamps, cauls, glue spreading
and parts alignment that I didn’t see the RED remote. Got everything
aligned and started applying the clamps.

Suddenly I heard the dust collector go on.

What the F...!

Checked my back pocket where I often clip the remote. Nope.

Began scanning the clutter on the end of the bench top. Nope.

Checked the router table - the home for the remote. Nope.

Scanned all the flat surfaces above floor level for anything RED.
Nope.

You know that hollow feeling you get in the pit of your stomach as the
relaization sets in that you’ve just done something really, really
stupid?

If I take this top off and the remote isn’t in there I’m gonna be POed -
big time!

Could you hear the sound of my palm striking my forehead - forcefully?
Sure sounded really loud to me. Clear vision is returning - slowly.
The embarassed expression will probably be gone by tomorrow - afternoon
- hopefully.

Maybe I should epoxy the remote to a 3 foot length of 2x4 - that’s
painted International Organge.

Amazing, absolutely amazing. But, don't woory about the story
spreading, we won't tell.

Who's in charge of the paint, glue, and 2X4 fund, so we'll know
where to send our donatrions?

This is a LoneRanger remote - 1" x 1" by maybe 5 inches long -
with a belt clip.

You've got wall space, especially at eye height somewhere in
your shop? Amazing - truly amazing. You are blessed.

When you go to the shop, hang it around your neck.

Don't know about you, but I play with things that spin
things. Just keeping body parts and clothes away from
them is challenging enough. Having something hanging
from a nylon cord - around my neck - just doesn't
seem like such a good idea - to me.

As you leave the shop, hang it back up on the nail.

See response above nails and shop wall space

If you accidentally take it inside
the house with you, make it a point to return it immediately. Don't
wait. You'll lose it. DAMHIKT. (about other things)

"Immediately" is not in my vocabulary - I'm retired.

with emphasis on both being civil and being of service-
and now I don't have to "earn a living" - odd concept.)


Now where the HELL did I put that Practical Yacht Joinery book I got
for myself just before Christmas?!? It's nowhere to be found.

Check the outhouse.

After my first remote vaniehed, I think it was with the turning
shavings, I bought 2 remotes. One stays on a clip in my lathe room, and
the other is out in my shop. Now, if one vanishes, I have a back up
until the new one gets here.

That's it. Have something loose and dangly around your neck while working
with power tools.

If'n you do that, please don't put it at eyeball height. Put it somwhere
where it won't do any damage when you walk into it while thinking about
what you are going to be doing in the shop today.

.... snip of otherwise good advice.

Oops, I meant hang the remote at eyeball height. The nail would be
higher. My bad.

Any pre made remotes for us electrically challenged people? I am not
much on wiring and I need to get this going.
Or what about using the long ranger gate control and using a 12v
remote to connect the wires?

Well, I have the 3hp/220v Oneida dust collector, and Lone Ranger has a
set up for that. I had an electrician over for a few other things, and
had him wire it up for me.
As a side note, a friend of mine just got one of the Grizzly 2hp
collectors that came with a remote that was infared instead of FM radio
frequency opperated. He found out that the remote switch for his Jet
air filter would turn on the dust collector as well. With the infared,
you have to point it at the machine, where as with the other one, you
just have to hit the switch. I can even start it while outside the
shop.

I have a long ranger it is only rated for 15 amps. I need a beefier
one the motor is rated at 16 amps and pops the breaker on the long
ranger.

Wiring is actually very basic.
