Sounds good! One last question though should i worry about sawdust getting into the system and causing a fire hazard? They sell another model that costs 170$ and has the same specs but it has a filter on it. Is that worth the extra cost?

Well, we can only hope you're not going to let enough sawdust to accumulate to be a fire hazard. My old heater with the exposed metal coil just burns off any light dust that falls on it, but then I don't keep it near my saw. Like i said earlier, I like the radiator-style ones.

So I decided I would insulate the shed between using 1 in foam insulation and r13 fiberglass insulation but how would I insulate the roof. I wan to have aloft that is half of the roof so how would I insulate the roof. Should I insulate the roof?

I know I'm a late comer to this party but I used foil backed plastic sheeting (feels like bubble wrap and very pliable) on the underside of the roof, and it really worked great for insulation.
That stuff is surprisingly expensive and fiberglass insulation is a lot cheaper. Also I dont think that stuff would have enough r value to it for a roof. I'm thinking of just using the r13 for the roof.
