This is probably far into the future of your new hobby but this is what a good friend of mine uses in his shop and is actually next on my buy list for my shop.

Thanks for the advice! And I’m definitely going to go pick up a fire alarm. Like you said, worth the peace of mind!!

You can’t use smoke detectors in a shop unfortunately. If you can find a stand alone rate of rise heat detector that would work in that dusty of an environment. There are two types of smoke detectors. Both have chambers that have to stay clean and will either fail or false alarm depending on which type you use. If you own a security system your alarm company can add a ror heat detector which is your best bet.

Good to know. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you!
