Dust collection hose question
I noticed some black flexible ribbed hose used in a dust collection accessories ad at http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=11312&rrt=1 .
I tried some stuff that looks like it that is sold as drainage hose. It is similar to http://www.lowes.com/pd_259812-62059...nch&facetInfo= or http://www.lowes.com/pd_24136-124-04...nch&facetInfo= . When used on a dust collector, the moving air across the ribs makes it sound like there's a steamboat whistle in the shop. I've tried different lengths and flows to get away from the resonant frequency with no luck. It only changes pitch. 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 black stuff curves easily and neither collapses nor shrinks under vacuum. |

First off you should be using 6" diameter hose! Past that you probably have a leak causing the whistle. I use the 6" clear corrugated flexible hose, 30', witha 1100 CFM collector and have no issue with the ribs causing a whistle. |

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 black stuff curves easily and neither collapses nor shrinks under vacuum. 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 and just use the flex at the very end where a machine needs some freedom to be moved or when sharing a single connection with multiple machines that needs to be detached and moved among them. Then you just need a few pieces of the expensive (but appropriate) flex. The dust collection guru also says use the biggest pipe the farthest you can. My DC has a 6" inlet so I run 6" rigid right up to near the machine and break down to 4" rigid and finally flex. http://www.sonomaproducts.com/images...shop/7dust.jpg http://www.sonomaproducts.com/images...shop/91air.jpg http://www.sonomaproducts.com/images...3back-wall.jpg |

For long runs, I use the thick cardboard carpet tubes since they are also 4" in diameter. I visited my local carpet store and they gave them to me for free. They are 10 to 12ft in length and easy to cut. The carpet store throws them away. I connect the tubes with the dust collection elbows and other misc connections required for each tool. The only flexible hose I use are for my Router table and table saw because they are on wheels. |

(*) But it's no worse than the flex plastic, either... -- Read Puckers reply about Bill Pentz idea of aluminum tape. I have it run inside and outside every run and fitting with a complete circuit from one end to the other. You can see it in my pics. I make sure the connecting screws pass through it as well. I connect a copper wire to it at the end with an alligator clip that can be attached to the machine. I haven' had even a hint of a shock, even in the places where the terminus has lost the clip or wire and just having the tape throughout causes enough diffusion it just never builds any static. |

I've still got stuff in temporary places awaiting time enough to finish pouring a slab and getting power to where I want the planer permanently so haven't done anything regarding that.

Dust is destined to be with metal. With plastic, a static charge is
developed and can cause explosions. Some run a bare copper wire down the pipe and ground the wire to bleed off the charge.

I ran a copper wire inside connected to the Dust collector and each machine. In a couple of years I started getting clogs where stringy stuff wrapped around the wire and hung on, gradually growing. Fortunately I used only slip fitting at some of the joints so it could be taken apart. I removed all the wire and have had no problems--never got a shock or spark, even with the 3" flex which I use for vacuuming the floor and around the lathe.

LOL. Actually the spinning blade is still pretty good at earning my respect, so I don't have any less fear. Send me $175.00 and ill cut a hot dog and send you pictures. :-) I really am tempted. I'll put in $25.00. Anyone else interested? |

Must be hell going out to use your SawStop and thinking every time, "Hmmm, I'd really like to test it out at least once!" LOL. Actually the spinning blade is still pretty good at earning my respect, so I don't have any less fear. Send me $175.00 and ill cut a hot dog and send you pictures. :-) Aside from that this saw was a much bigger step up in quality than I expected so I do enjoy that benefit. Nice. I havwe one more year. Wife put the clamp down on this years purchase. Once my son is done with school I have a green light, until something else comes up. -- Jeff |

My hose is long enough that it is always in contact with the concrete floor. That contact seems to take care of static discharge as I can't remember ever being shocked by the hose. A different climate might have different results. Stop bragging. My "hose" drags around on the floor also if I don't tie it too my leg. It's a bitch when I step on that sucker.. My floor is cold too! :-) |
