Thanks John. Hadn’t seen this product. Worth considering.

My shop is in the basement. The smoke detector sometimes goes off when ripping maple or oak when I have the blade tilted to something other than 90 degrees. I just figure it is a good test for the detector. Because the furnace and washer/dryer are all in the basement, there is a real need to keep the detector there.

I would also suggest to anyone to also include a CO detector, especialy near the furnace.

We were renting a townhouse, with the furnaces in the complex gettin fairly old (10-15 years maybe). One of the negibores had issues with their furnace and the CO levels, so after that at I’ve always installed a CO detector.

If the smaoke detector is photoelectric type, anything that bloks the light will set it off. I don’t remember what the other type in called right now, but it has to “smell” smoke.

My shop is not near enough to the house to hear a smoke detector from the house. So if a smoke detector goes off in the woods and no one is there to hear it does it make any noise? (-;

Actually smoke detectors in garages and stand alone shops like mine should be hard wired to sound off in the house where you can hear them. Some systems have all smoke detectors hard wired together so if one goes off they all sound. In Oregon all smoke detectors have to either be hard wired (120v) or have 10 year lithium batteries because people don’t check them every 6 moths like the should.

ionization is the other type, I think. My smoke detector doesn’t go off unless I burn something with a dull blade or router bit.
