Yes, I put a 1/16" thermocouple in the brush with JB weld, it's just a sensor and not a switch, to switch I'd need a $40+ controller, altho I think an Arduino could do the task as well, I just don't know how to program it yet for that.
Thermocouple is what I think what I used, a friend of mine bought boxes of them for a collage research project and gave me the ones that did not get burned up so I have a few, Message me if you are interested in one or two.
JLD7100 (DC 12V) PID Temperature Controller is the temperature controller that I'd like to buy, but other things are higher up on my budget.
