My 3HP Oneida V3000 should be here in about two weeks and I'm wondering about autostart systems for it. I've got a mix of 240 (table saw) and 120 (router, drill press, planer) and it would be nice to have them all autostart it. Is there any downside to autostarting (and shutting down) these bigger DCs? Is it better for the motor if I just turn it on when I start working and leave it on?
Also, any issue using a DC with 7"->6" vents to gather up shavings from handplaning? Should I plan to continue to sweep those?
