Blast Gates for a Woodworking Dust Collection System

Product Identification

• Item: 4-inch Blast Gate

• Brand: Woodstock International (Model W1007)

• Function: These act like a "dam" for air. They are installed in a series of vacuum tubes connected to woodworking machines (like a saw or sander). You slide the gate open to allow the vacuum to pull sawdust from a specific machine and slide it shut when that machine isn't in use to maintain high suction elsewhere.
