Remote Dust Collector Switch
I've seen switches with two outlets that turn a DC on automatically when a power tool (e.g., table saw, SS) is switched on. Has anyone ever seen one for 220V?

Grizzly, Shop Fox and PSi are just a few companies that make them. I found another solution. For $20 I for an IR Repeater from Radio Shack, now I just hit my dust collector remote control when I want it to go on or off, even though it is not located in my shop it works great.

For those without the 220V
When I bought my 520 it had a switch attached to it that would turn on both the 520 and the dust collector at the same time. Unfortunately, the electrical outlet is only 15 amp - not enough to start both. My original first aid was to use another outlet in the garage which is on a different circuit.
Then my envy button was turned on when I saw Nick use a remote switch during a sawdust session. Because of this thread I did some research and ordered the following today. I preferred this one since the outlet is rated higher than others offered. Hope it works. Will know by this weekend.
