Default Dust collection hose question

Has anyone had any luck with this stuff? The price on the clear
stuff is outrageous and the wire makes it harder to work with. The

Wow, very innovative. It seems that the ridges are quite a bit more
pronounced than the flexible plastic. If you run is very long I
think you will get quite a bit of friction loss. I think the
whistling proves my point of turbulence, etc. I use rigid thin wall
irrigation PVC andjust use the flex at the very end ...


Agree, the noise is friction losses--_a_bad_thing_ (tm)

I've been using thinwall DWV plastic (Sch 30 or even 20) and excepting
for the static electricity annoyance(*) works fine as well.

(*) But it's no worse than the flex plastic, either...
