    "Big Gulp" type item with 6" port?

    Has anyone seen a dust catcher on the order of the "Big Gulp" types but with a 6" port instead of 4"?

    Thanks!

    I finally figured out how to deal with sawdust in my hair.

    I shaved my head.

    Dan,
    I have not seen any, but suspect that manufacturers will begin offering such hoods with so many of us converting to larger DC systems, bigger impellers and 6" minimum ducts. In the meatme, I'm slowly plodding away with hacking my original plastic collection ports and hoods to go 6". Not pretty, but make a huge difference in practice.

    I'll tell you what I did. Went to HD and bought the rubber 4x6 sewer pipe reducers. they tighten up with hose clamps. Don't
    be fooled like I was at first. They look to big but the clamps make a good seal
