What operators say after GRIT is running.
GRIT and iVac are the only two systems on the market for automatic dust control in the small workshop. Having had extensive experience with both, I highly recommend the GRIT system. iVac is essentially old and obsolete technology. GRIT Automation is truly a system of the 21st century.Dennis Coleman · Home shop owner · Past President, Champaign Woodworkers Club
I chose GRIT so that I could keep students in my shop safe and expand their opportunities for learning more of our tools. The GRIT system allows me to focus on those that need the most help instead of worrying about everyone at the same time when the shop is busy.Lowell Miller · Fabrication Coordinator · University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Watch the UIUC story →
