Automatic Dust Collector & Blast Gate Controller


 

I just posted a file describing a new device which controls a dust collector and blast gate when machine is turned on/off. ?


This past spring I purchased a Felder KF700S sliding table saw and shaper combo. ?I also installed Nordfab ducting to the machine which included an automatic blast gate at ceiling height.? My dust collector is an Oneida Smart Pro 5HP unit with an RF remote.? In my small one person shop, the dust collector does not run continuously ¨C only when machines are producing chips.

?

I wanted the dust collector to turn on automatically whenever I turned on the saw.? The blast gate must open at the same time.? When I turned the saw off, the collector would run for a programmable number of seconds before turning off and then closing the blast gate.? I wanted the dust collector to turn on via RF as I did not want to run wiring or disable my current RF remotes.


Check out the unit in operation at??
