With a blastgate at each machine, you can control the air flow from the DC unit as if you only had one machine hooked up, providing the most efficient use of the air suction. By opening and closing each blastgate, as needed, you will get the maximum amount of air flow at all times.

For a more "durable" blastgate, there is a metal version available at a premium. But I have found the plastic gates work just fine for most operations. The only negative item for this blastgate, and even the metal blastgates, WHY are the ends tapered? All the other fittings for the DC system do not have tapered ends, only the blastgates.

Overall, it is a good product that allows for maximum use of a dust collection system, with a blastgate installed at each branch to control the air flow to the machine in use.
