Inexpensive Remote

Gerry,
Thanks for the post I saved it to my favorites. A guy at my lathe club told me he uses the remotes they sell for Christmas Lights around the holidays I’ll ask him how they are rated load wise.

Nice review. Yeah, I favorited this too.

Are these IR or RF?

I use the Christmas light version.

COOL solution!

OK you have three… do they all operate on the same freq.?
... can you change the key code?
... How many codes, for selection, do they have?

Thank you.

Harbor Frt. unit... per search...

Looks like it’s too small in Power handling to control a
Jet DC-650A draws 11 amps on startup and runs at 5.5 amps

I use something similar in my shop for my DC. I’ve had mine for about 4 years and it is still going strong. Also, since I rent an old house that doesn’t have any over head fixtures or outlets on switches, these work really well. I just hang a remote near the door and instant wall switch. I love these things. Now that we are closes to Halloween, they start appearing in stores all the way past Christmas.

The Harbor Freight unit I saw a couple a months ago in the store was rated for 15 amps I believe but I could be wrong. I didn’t buy it myself because I remember it wouldn’t handle my dust collector.

-- Thank You Veterans!

did anybody find a store that you can purchase online (besides H.F.)?

I finally was able to make contact with a Menards store in Nebraska…

I asked if I could order one of these and have it shipped to me?
He said, yes, but it will cost quite a bit in freight… Fedex… I gave him my zip code so he could check the freight cost… He called me back & said it would be $14+

I asked him:

Ever heard of the USPS Flat Rate boxes?...

No

Well, you can get the boxes FREE from the Post Office… This item could probably Fit into a Samll box and ship anywhere in the USA for $5.12!

Oh, really? We don’t use them.

Well, you might mention this to someone in Management… You might get a nice Bonus out of it…
... because if you did use them, you would have had a Sale…
Because you don’t use’em, you have Lost a Sale…
Thank you for checking.

Thank you… I will…

bye…
