Is it too much for me? I have a small home shop or I'm a small business and it's just me and my business partner. I think that they see our installations in our university and educational settings and it can make GRIT Automation feel unapproachable. But that's absolutely not the case because we are modular and scalable. We fit your shop exactly where it is. We are made for your shop, period. One of the reasons that people are interested in GRIT is for our dust collection automation. I want to be able to come into my shop, get straight to work.

I don't want to have to worry about turning on my dust collector, adjusting my blast gates. And that's where GRIT can absolutely help you out in your shop. So you come in, you turn on a tool, everything is auto-configured once you set it up. The dust collector turns on, the appropriate blast gates open, and you're off to the races.

More woodworking. Less gate walking.

See how your tools, gates, and collector work together, then choose the system for your shop.
