Line 66: − − I've read that using less than 3" ducts with a large 15-16" blower is a problem. − − I drew up some plans based on these resources: − * http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zlNimxZgqw − * [[File:Blast gate.doc]] − − This is a 2.5" duct, 'cause I originally planned to use the shop vac. The hole can just be enlarged to 3" w/o other changes. For 4" or 6" gates, the plates should be enlarged, and linkages will probably need lengthening. I made a lot of paper models to get the geometry right. Someone with experience modelling moving parts with CAD could probably do the scaling more quickly. − [[File:blast_gate_front.svg]]

Initially, the dust collector will be turned on and off manually and the blast gates will be opened manually. After all the wood working machines are connected to the dust collector, we will work to automate the gates and collector motor - turning on a tool will activate the collector.
