As the title says. My thinking is that if I am running a new circuit to the dust collector it makes sense to use 10-3 instead of 10-2 so I can use the neutral to get 110v to activate the relay instead of running another wire to the box. The 110v would not be used for anything other than dust collector motor control so any potential overloads is not a concern.
My concern is that the draw of the motor could cause some interference issues on the 110v line, which could cause start stop issues.
I've attached a very crude drawing showing my thoughts for the wiring. Its the same as what many stoves use to run the 220v heaters and a 110v control panel. Th e difference is in the startup surge current created by such a large motor.
