I recently purchased a grizzly dust collector and I’m still trying to get it set up. I found a way to automatically turn the collector on and off from each tool.I purchased the Creative Dust Control System from Rockler. It consists of a module for the vacuum, modules for each tool, and automatic blast gates.The system is all hooked together using modular phone cords.It couldn’t be easier to set up, but I’m having trouble with one of the blast gates.It won’t do anything.I’ve got another one hooked up and it works perfectly.The blast gates and tool modules are sold together. Has anybody had any experience with this brand of system? How does it hold up?

Toolshed,
You might have better luck with this in Knots. There are a lot more people over there with shops than are over here.
