Review on Enhanced Blast Gate for Dust Collector/Vacuum Fittings by POWERTEC 70227 - 6-Inch by Josh Thompson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Disappointed - leaks and turbulence.

The steel flap is very poorly fixed in the case, it lets air through and gets clogged with dirt. (This is a 1.2mm sheet in a 3.2mm gap). The opening in the gate is not round (and not as shown in the photos) which creates turbulence and reduces airflow. I can probably get them to work well enough, but then I might as well make my own from scratch if that's what I wanted to spend my weekends on.

Pros
  • Accessories for vacuum cleaners and dust collectors
Cons
  • Some disadvantages
