Hi, I'm Jacqueline with GRIT and today I want to talk a little bit about our GRIT Switch. So we have all kinds of triggers in the system that connect directly to the tools, but we also have a remote style trigger called the Switch that allows you to have a little bit more manual control over some of the actions in your GRIT system. So the GRIT Switch is a little trigger that you can clip on your belt loop or there's a cradle, a charging cradle that it comes
with. You can operate it from there as well, but it configures exactly like a trigger in that you can configure it to turn on a dust collector and open any number of gates that you want to control with this. Some uses that this is perfect for would be a floor sweep or a lathe where you want to have a little bit more control over when the dust collection is initiated. Whether you use it for turning let's say a table leg or doing sanding sometimes you want your dust collection on sometimes you don't. A
switch is going to be the perfect solution for that. So in this case I have our switch configured where it's going to turn on our collector, open up a couple of blast gates, and you can see right here. If you have any other questions or want to learn more, please head to our website to watch our other videos or feel free to contact us via our contact page. We're happy to answer any questions you have or help you put together your own estimate.
More woodworking. Less gate walking.
See how your tools, gates, and collector work together, then choose the system for your shop.
