Review on πŸ’¨ Maximize Efficiency with POWERTEC 70108 4 Inch Blast Gate for Dust Collector/Vacuum Fittings by Vinay Mickel

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works well but leaks over time

a 1300cc nozzle. I made a collector. The plastic on one of them broke so that the sliding shutter simply fell out. I super glued it again and everything was fine. The big problem is that they haven't closed completely for the next 3-4 weeks. I tried removing the stuck dust with a toothpick, but that was too tedious and inefficient. You can see what is happening in the picture. I took one apart to see exactly what was going on. Dust is left behind and the gate does not close fully. If a small hole doesn't bother you, then everything is fine. With so many tools I have connected to the system, opening all the tools is equivalent to a fully open gate, so it's not practical. I had to replace them all with gates that open both ways to keep them from clogging.

Pros
  • Function: Maximizes the efficiency of your dust collection system by directing and regulating airflow from one machine to another
Cons
  • Minor issues
