Save yourself the inconvenience of walking over to turn on your dust Collector while you're in the middle of a critical project; simply press the transmitter on/off button to easily switch your dust Collector on or offIncludes: receiver, hand control, 9V batteryInput Voltage 110-125 volts AC; maximum 16 amps; maximum horsepower 1. 5HP50 foot range; 5 foot cord on receiver module; requires 9V battery (included)FCC approved; RF signal goes through walls with no outside interference: Unlimited programmable frequencies; Extra Hand Controls available (LRTM-3)
So this is what I've done over the course of a few years:
From there you can make a Thien baffle out of scrap 1/2" plywood or whatever you'd like. You'll want a 4" elbow (around $10) and a 4" coupler (around $6). I'd also suggest building a sort of cart for your new Frankenstein dust collector and this is a good one to strive for.
Finally, you'll want a Dust Collector Remote and this one I've had for a while and works great for $60.
So, for all of that you're looking at right around $500 w/ around a $100 to play around with. Maybe spruce up your cart w/ some fancy casters or grab some connectors (I like the Dust Right ones from Rockler to further streamline workflow)
That takes you right around to your budget. I think the HF model with the Wynn filter and Thien baffle is a great investment. I love mine.
Harbor Freight, some kind of Thien separator or a chip collector ( I use the Rockler one), remote on/off switch
The box is a Long Ranger Dust Collector Switch. The woodshop I used to belong to had one so I knew where to look. It looks like it was designed in the 70's (complete with 9 volt battery remote), but it works.
Well this is the one that I purchased. It arrives today, so I'll let you know if it works or not.

You'll burn that out. It's rated for 15A, the HF 2HP DC is 20A. The thing you linked is meant for shopvacs. Now this can handle 20A load.
