Dust Collector Level Indicator
Author Last Post

i emptied it last about a month or two ago. not sure if anyone has done it since, but with the dust that is made in that room, i imagine it would be at least half full or more by now if it hadn't been emptied

I did install a dust bin level indicator. It has a pink flamingo and the words "Empty bin when flamingo lit"

I was wondering how well it was working. So I got a 1/2 dowel to use as a probe. I drilled a 1/2 hole in the lid and sent the probe down. It reached almost all the way to the bottom. Did the bin get emptied recently? I just want to know if the level sensor worked.

Dust collector is full. Is anyone able to lend their services and vehicle to take it to the dump?

the idea of getting a second drum to swap out if it is full?

As discussed at a previous members meeting, it would be good to install a dust level indicator on the bin of the dust collector. This could be as simple as a level window if someone would like to take it on.
