Note: Systems with powerful dust collectors work better if multiple blast gates are left open. This also allows you to run two machines at once. Experiment with different combinations of blast gates open/closed to find the best results for your system.

Here are some frequently asked questions when determining branch line sizes:
How do I figure which size of branch line to use if the machine has two dust ports?
