Great Addition to My Workshop

I recently purchased this accessory for my power tool collection and I am really pleased with how well it works. When I tried this product, it was easy to install and has been incredibly helpful in collecting dust and debris from my saw. It is also made of lightweight aluminum, which makes it durable and long-lasting. While I wish it came in different sizes, it is a great tool to have in my kit. Overall, this is a great addition to any Tools and Home Improvement collection.

Pros
  • Easy to install, collects dust and debris effectively
Cons
  • Limited sizing options

Good work! Use 2 inch PVC for the dust collection system.

Works great! Used 2" PVC to connect a dust collection system to all my power tools in the garage powered by my shop vacuum and dust buddies. The only issue was that the connectors on either side were for a 2.5" dust collection hose and were barely too big to fit in the PVC fittings.I solved this by using a heat gun to soften the PVC and then tapping it onto the gate with a rubber mallet.Worked great and made for a nice and tight Connection ensured!

Pros
  • CONSTRUCTION: Blastgate is durable aluminum construction with high quality steel gates engineered to eliminate air leaks, design flexibility and long lasting use.
Cons
  • I really don't like it, it's ok

It really eliminates the clogging problem and is very durable which is a big plus. Unfortunately, the non-clogging mechanism leaks horribly and causes a significant drop in suction. I sealed the bottom with aluminum tape to stop the leak and just peeled it off to clear the clog (still better than plastic). Another major annoyance is that my planer has…
