You Got Into Woodworking
to Build Things.

Not to wrestle with blast gates, worry about dust, or watch your electric bill climb.

🚪
Manual Blast Gates

Walking across the shop to open and close gates for every tool change. Five minutes of fiddling before you make a single cut.

💨
Invisible Dust

Fine particles you can't see are the most dangerous. Your dust collector helps — but without monitoring, you're guessing about air safety.

Wasted Energy

Running your collector at full blast for one tool. Your electric bill shows it. A smarter system adjusts power based on what's actually running.

🔧
Forgotten Filters

Clogged filters silently kill suction efficiency. Without pressure monitoring, you won't notice until dust starts piling up on the floor.

The Experience

Saturday Morning, Automated.

Here's what a session looks like when your shop runs itself.

1
Flip on the table saw

GRIT detects the power draw instantly. The table saw blast gate opens, the dust collector ramps up to the right speed. Under one second. Zero buttons.

2
Switch to the planer

Walk to the other side of the shop. GRIT closes the table saw gate, opens the planer gate, and adjusts suction automatically. You never touch a thing.

3
Check your air in a glance

Your air quality sensor reads 14 µg/m³ — well within safe levels. If it ever rises, you'll get an alert. Clean air. Peace of mind.

4
Power down and walk away

Turn off your last tool. GRIT shuts down the collector, closes every gate, and logs your session. Your shop is clean, sealed, and ready for next time.

Built for Home Shops

Three Systems. One Hub.

Start with what matters most. Add more whenever you're ready. Everything connects to one small device.

💨
Dust Management

Turn on a tool — the right blast gate opens and your collector adjusts automatically. No walking across the shop. No manual valves. Just clean air and full suction where you need it.

  • Motorized blast gates — one per duct run
  • Auto collector start/stop and speed control
  • Filter pressure monitoring with alerts
  • Works with any dust collector brand
How It Works
📊
Environmental Monitoring

Know exactly what you're breathing. A real-time PM2.5 sensor tracks fine dust particles and alerts you if levels rise above safe thresholds. Protect your lungs every session.

  • Real-time PM2.5 particle tracking
  • On-screen dashboard with live readings
  • Configurable safety threshold alerts
  • Session history and air quality trends
How It Works
Energy Management

Stop running your dust collector at full power for a single tool. GRIT adjusts motor speed based on how many gates are open — saving energy without sacrificing suction.

  • VFD-based collector speed control
  • Automatic power scaling per tool
  • Energy usage tracking per session
  • Reduce collector wear and noise

From the Shop
I used to spend five minutes every session messing with blast gates. Now I flip on the saw and GRIT handles the rest. The air quality sensor gives me real peace of mind — I know my lungs are safe. Complete game changer for a one-person shop.
