So I dove in the deep end. I have all my big machines (DC, table saw, jointer, planer, combo sander, bandsaw, drill press) assembled and calibrated. I have, until I change my mind again , figured where I am placing all the tools in my minimal 2 car garage space. Since my space is limited I have everything except the DC on wheels. With the excepting of the TS which is centrally located all the tools will reside against the walls. I will be able to move them out a few feet if I need to handle larger material. So all is good!
I have decided to use PVC and after a ridiculous amount of researching I think (I know, scary concept) that I will run 6" from the DC as a main line across the garage with 4" downspouts to the tools. The entire length of the 6" main line will not exceed 20' and the last 8' or so of that is for future considerations should I decide to relegate the truck to the driveway and just use the whole 3 car garage for the shop.
So with that said, I have decided to go with SDR-35 PVC unless some of you school me on a better and more cost effective approach. This is my plan with the black dots being down spouts. If I need to use the planer or drill press I would just hook them up to the down spout where the truck is. My thinking is I could move stuff around should I need to use for example the table saw, jointer, and planer a lot over a few days span. Most of the time I would just be using one tool at any given time. Is your head spinning? Mine is! lol
So with all this said, and I am sure some of you might think I'm nuts and offer up different and/or better scenarios, I have had some difficulty finding vendors that sell SDR-35 piping and connectors/fittings. Pricing seems to be very inconsistent as well on the sites I have found. Is there a one stop shopping spot that you all have used with reasonable pricing? Any and all input will be welcomed. Thanks for taking the time to read my drivel.
