iVACPro Blast Gate 4" (PBG04-A-NA)

Used for over a year and are great glad i purchased

Love these for certain tools that are awkward to reach a manual blast gate. They’re expensive for what they do so I only have four. All of my tools use amperage sensors to turn on vacuum and for these four they also open the gate. The others I put a switch on the manual blast gate so the vacuum only comes on if the gate is open and the tool is running.

Replaced the blast gates for my table saw and miter saw with these since they are the most commonly used tools in my shop. They were very easy to install and set up. No more looking across the shop from one saw to see that i forgot to close the gate at the other saw after the last use. I will be ordering more for the planer, jointer, and router in the future (once my checking account recovers a bit). As others have noted, these are pricey but worth it to me.

I have a 1HP dust collector with a distribution pipe, and I always either forget to open the gates OR I think 'it's only a single cut'. Then the shop is full of dust. I put these in (6 in total) and I always use dust collection, and the shop is not dusty anymore. These things are reliable and you can see if they are opened via the colored cut out at the end of the gate.Well made, this is a must if you generate a lot of dust.

I own 5 of these and the power adapter on one died within one year of purchase. I emailed the company and they never even bothered to respond to me.The company has zero customer service and doesn’t stand behind their products at all.I’ve spent over $1000 on their products, and they couldn’t even be bothered to send a replacement 16v adapter that died prematurely.

I installed these a couple months ago along with the pro tool sensors and remote for the dust collector and I have to say they’re awesome! No more walking across the shop back and forth to turn on the dust collector and opening and closing blast gates. Instead I just worry about what I’m doing, the dust collector takes care of itself turning on and off automatically, and opening and closing gates as needed. A huge time and step saver! They’re not cheap but will pay for themselves in time savings both from eliminating extra steps but also unnecessary cleanup because the dust collector isn’t turned on or configured properly.

Bought two of these to utilize with my miter saw and table saw. These worked out really well. I use in conjunction with the IVac Pro sensor and remote switch. It is so convenient to be able to flip on your tool and the blast gate opens and the dust collector turns on. I highly recommend. The gates fit perfectly with 4 inch PVC piping. The whole system sets up easily.

I had been thinking about automating the blast gates on my dust collection system for some time now and finally made the purchase. The iVac system seemed to be pretty straight forward to setup so I purchased the system. As soon as it arrived I began the setup following the instructions provided and it went pretty smooth. I ran into one issue which was the number one position gate did not stay open and close when it was suppose to when I opened other gates. This was explained in the manual that was provided. After several changes to the program switches on that blast gate with no success I called technical support. The gentleman gave me easy to follow instructions and solved the problem. The system is working great and has made working in the shop more efficient and a lot more fun.
