davidrn Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) I have my dust collection system pretty much done, but I still needed a couple of 6" blast gates. So, I was fortunate to win an auction with a total of 24 blast gates in sizes from 3" ,4" 5" 6" and 8", they all are built from heavy grade steel. Because they came from a Tech HS woodshop they had pneumatics and actuators(110v) on them. I am going to list them in a week or 2 on EBay if I don't sell them to a fellow hobbyist here. I would like from $20 to $100 / OBO for the different sizes. I can also remove the pneumatics and sell them as manual blast gates for less. The 8" unit with extras weighed 8lbs, the smaller would be slightly less. I live in North Central Mass, but also travel to Maine and NYC often, so could deliver them if you are in either area. shipping is also an option, obviously. 3/9/2017 added pics of the actual complete units in 8" & 6" size Edited March 9, 2017 by davidrn added pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beechwood Chip Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 How do the actuators work? On is open and off is closed? I assume it's 110V AC, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidrn Posted March 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Yes, they require compressed air (80lbs thru 1/4" ), and 110v to turn on/off. Thanks for your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidrn Posted March 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2017 I have sold a few units so far, for anyone looking for a heavy duty metal blast gate, (no pneumatics) I am offering three 3",4" or 5" in a medium ship anything box for $50. I still have 6" and 8" left, but much bigger, would require higher shipping costs. However, considering an 8" with pneumatics and actuator on EBay goes for $650, I think you would be happy to get them from me at a significant discount. (need to get the spring cleaning going in the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
