Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


I'm a little embarrassed to ask this, BUT. The Dimensions and what is the exact size for the glass? I've made a lot of furniture and other items but I have brain cramps on this relatively simpleproject. I'm very humble at this point. I know the flag's dimensions are 22" wide and 11" high.

Dust Bin Level Sensor?

Furnished content.
(from WoodNet.net)


Anyone here have installed a dust bin level sensor/alarm? What do you use?

I have a lexan window on mine to visually see when the dust is getting high in the bin, but soon enough my cyclone will be in a mechanical room separate from the workshop and I won't have ready visibility of the dust bin to know when it's getting full. So I've been thinking of installing a sensor of sorts to turn on an alarm light in the shop to warn me that the bin is getting full.

I was just checking out the system that Oneida sells and at $149 it's a price point at which I'm inclined to justbuy another tool with that money and just visually check my dust bin at the beginning and end of each work day in the shop. But still I guess $149 isn't too bad for what it is.

I recall reading somewhere that some people set up a pressure switch to sense the increase in pressure in the dust bin. If that's simple enough, maybe that's a more affordable option.
