My situation:
I should preface this by saying my goal is to try and have a cleaner shop, I know it's not a "healthy" shop, and I'm missing all the fines...
I have the HF DC. I have it piped with 4" PVC to the Table saw and Bandsaw in a semi-permanent installation.
I still need collection to the Jointer, Planer, and potentially the Router table.
I can't seem to work out the floor plan to orient the jointer and planer such that I can make a permanent setup, at this point it would be better if I had a hose that could be moved from tool to tool to collect from those 3 as I need them. I don't joint/plane every day... more like a couple times a month.
My questions:
What is the most efficient way you guys have found to move the collection hose? Or rather, Exactly what hose/connectors are the best for this?
If it were you, would you consider collecting the router table (Fence only for now) with the DC, or use a ShopVac/Separator combo?
Thank you for your time.
