Hey guys;
Like a lot of you, about 4 months ago I ordered the plans and video of Norm's newest version of his router table. I built it exactly like the plans called for, including the dust collection setup with the PVC" T-Y" connections. I ran the 2 1/2" hose from the dust port to the inlet on top,sealed it off to prevent air loss, and hooked up the 4" d.c. hose with a 2 1/2 " reducer. My r.t. is about 20 ft. from the room where my d.c. sets in. This setup really"sucks"(no pun). It does o.k. at the dust port on the fence, and clears very little inside the cabinet. Frustrated, I unhooked the the 4" at the bottom, sealed it off completely, and hooked the 4" to the dust port at the fence.
How many out there(if any) has had this same problem? I think the t-y out the back is wayyyy toooo small. And of cousre, it's gluded in. It needs to be at least 3-4" for both to work properly. My d.c has 1200 cfm, so that's not the problem.
I'd like some feedback on this, and pros and cons are welcome. Rick D.
