CT Bag Full indicator!

[semenza]

Hi,

       I would like to see an audible / lighted indicator on the CTs for a nearly full bag.  I have overfilled more than once and it is a real  pain , and time loss to clear a filled hose. I really don't think this could be that hard to add.

Great idea!  I had the same problem.  And by the time the vac starts performing poorly, its too late!

    Yeah. The hose, and in my case about 10' of 2" extension pipe up to the ceiling, was filled right up before just a few wisps of dust were falling on the table from the saw blade. Its a testament to how good the suction is though. The CT just kept on going as if the hose was part of the bag!

I use a simple manometer with a #7 stopper to measure suction periodically to determine if there is a problem with the bag, filter, or motor.

Suction with at the end of a tightly connected hose should measure 80-95" .  SD
