Resolved - Shop Dust Collector

We have implemented some workarounds for the shop. Please review this posting before going in to use the woodshop.

One of our members loaned us a dust collector that is now connected to the jointer.

The rest of the machines either have a dust collection system separate from the main system, or can be used with a shop vac. The only machine not connected to a dust collection system is the large belt sander. Signs have been posted on machines with instructions on dust collection.

Table Saws:
Vacuum out under the cabinet after use. Press FIRMLY on the red button in order to open the latch.

Router:
Connect the shop vac to the top gate while using. Vacuum out the router box after use.

25-50 Belt Sander:
Connect shop vac.

Sanders:
Please use the shop vac.

We are working to get the main dust collection system back up and running as quickly as possible. The good news is that the motor is working just fine. The problem seems to be in the electronics.
