Dust Collection Question
I am setting up a home workshop with a dust collection system. Is
there a good reason to use "dust collection" hoses for the fittings over standard sheet-metal ductwork? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Elwood |

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Best in my opinion is to use rigid metal duct for main lines, and flexible hose to each piece of equipment. The rigid metal duct has much less resistance to airflow, and pretty much nothing for solids to get hung up on, so the more of it you have in the system the better. On the other hand, rigid metal duct is, well, rigid -- and thus not compatible with moving the equipment around at all, hence the flexible hose. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |

I said "duct", not "conduit". As in HVAC duct, which is what the OP was asking about. -- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com) It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again. |
