Sorry, that part of the setup I'm not doing the same. I had to go
back and reread your original post. Mine is down to 4" by the time it
hits the power tool.

BTW: If you know of a decent 4" quick disconnet, let me know. The
one on my planer stinks.

Do you use a QuickConnect to connect the 6" hose to the power tool? I
can only find QuickConnect in 4" diameter, but not 5" or 6".

Thanks.

Jay, I'm not picturing exactly what you want, but I have found that
both a 13oz coffee can and an 18 oz cardboard "barrel" of oatmeal are
sized perfectly for a slip fit in 4" flex tubing (tight) and 4" rigid
hvac duct loose enough for a quick-connect. I have short lengths of
flex on each of two tools near the same gated 4" pipe, with the piece
of flex terminated with one of the cans. When I switch from my planer
to my bandsaw, I just slip the oatmeal can out of the rigid pipe, and
stick the coffee can in.
