DIY Remote Blast Gates for the workshop | No Soldering, No Coding, Beginner Friendly
Over the last few months, I've been exploring solving a problem that I introduced when I last upgraded my dust collection system, specifically around my blast gates. The existing laser cut ones work incredibly well, but take up a large footprint, whether they are open or closed, hindering access to tools and reducing accessible areas. So I've been working on a ball valve design, that not only solves my gate profile issues, but is also remote controlled and best yet, this design requires NO soldering, NO wiring, and NO coding! I also made versions that are manually controlled for those (and myself) that don't need a remote controlled blast gate at every location! Let me know your thoughts, and suggestions, and again thanks for watching! FILES AVAILABLE: https://www.barberspaddockwoodworking...
