NO LEAK Dust Collection Blast Gates

*Please Click ",,,more" Below To See Full Description*
For a dust collector to be effective, it can only be sucking air through a single line. That means if you have multiple lines running to different tools or tool clusters, you need a way to shut off the lines you’re not using.
That’s where blast gates come in. They create a barrier between a run of piping that can be opened or closed, so you only get suction to the tool you're currently using.
When opened, a blast gate lets air and suction through. Close it, and you kill the airflow.
But the metal blast gates most people buy don’t work all that well. Air seeps out, dust keeps them from closing all the way, and they’re not cheap.
KM Tools developed their own DIY wooden blast gates that work way better than the metal ones. They’re cheaper - even when made out of maple plywood - and super simple to make.
They also have a color-coded system that saves a ton of time. With a quick glance around the shop, you can instantly know which blast gates are opened or closed.
