Product reviewsAxminster Blast Gates - 63mm

Why make your own?

My blast gates arrived this morning, after a little debate with myself whether to make my own or buy them, seeing the quality of these all plastic versions, why make your own? The blast gates are compact with a smooth operation to open and close them, I bought the size to suit standard 68mm downpipe and the tube that extends from each side of the blast gate slides easily into the 68mm downpipe, ideally these tubes could do with being slightly tapered so they made a tight fit into the downpipe, but a layer of tape around them should make them snug and I had planned to wrap duct tape around all joints as, for whatever reason in the UK, downpipe fittings like elbows and tee joints are quite loose unlike the 40mm waste pipe system, again, I'm using the downpipe for the purpose of dust removal not rain water.

I recommend these Axminster blast gates to anyone thinking of installing a workshop dust extraction system, they come in a couple of sizes, again I am using the 63mm size to use with 68mm downpipe, so don't need around making your own, buy these and spend your time being creative in your workshop.Read full review...
