I recently got my hands on a 1HP Grizzly dust collector. I'm torn as to what to do as I'd really like to get a 2HP unit so I can set it up in the attic rather than using it as a mobile unit and taking up precious real estate on the floor....I'm trying to get set up on a budget and with flexibility so I can upgrade in the near future..
I have a retractable hose on order with Rockler but have been getting impatient....
I remembered that had ~30 feet of 4" drain tile lying under the deck for a project....It's somewhat bendy and definitely should be rigid enough not to collapse. Let's see if it fits.
Yes, it fits. Plenty of room, will probably need some duct tape to seal.
Yes, it works.
Yes, it's absolutely freaking loud. There's a howl like a freight train blowing steam out all valves. There must be of harmonic with the semi-rigid tubing and the pleats. Very, Very, Very loud. Not an option.....
Where is that darn UPS truck!?!?!
