Assuming you have the space and electrical capacity, is there such a thing as too big of a system?
I have approx 50 feet of 5" duct connected to a 24" planer, a 20" jointer, a shaper, a band saw and a table saw. Currently this is hooked to a 2 hp single stage. On another 2 hp single stage I have approx 50 feet of 4" duct connected to another table saw, a 6" jointer, a miter saw and a router table.
As it stands, the first ststem is pretty much maxed out and has a hard time keeping up with the planer. The second system works ok. Idealy I'd have 1 system that encompasses the whole mess.
There's a 15 horse Torrit and a 20 horse single stage for sale locally and I'm considering one of them.
Thanks,
Paul
