For those of you with the HF dust collectors, what size hose are you using? I was hoping to build a Thein pre-separator and use 5" flexible hose, but am not finding 5" fittings or hose nearby. On the other hand, HF has a bargain on 4" hose ($14.95 for 10').
Suppose I build the separator with 4" fittings and then have another 10' or so of 4" flexible hose to my tool (one at a time), will the performance be dismal? I have a tablesaw, a G0490 jointer, and a DW735 planer. I also have a router table but plan to continue using my shop vac for that.
Anyone built a separator with 5" fittings? Where did you get them, and what was the approximate total cost?
By the way, I did order a Wynn 35A nano filter.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
