Just finished installing a whole shop system. I didnt do any calculations before i started. Just started running 6” pipe, a LOT of it... bought a grizzly 2HP blower from an estate sale and put it on top of a 55gal drum and made a thien baffle for it... i was worried that i had run to much pipe and used “to many” fittings. I think i have about 140’ of 6” pipe and a bunch of wyes, 45’s and 90’s. So far i just have planer, jointer, router and laser hooked up... fired it up a lil while ago for the first time... Dang,,,, this thing will suck the paint off of the walls... ran the planer first. Didn’t think it was working because i couldnt see any dust in the clear hose... had to shine a light on it.... the dust and planer chips moved so fast ya cant hardly see them...
Cant wait to get the rest of the machines hooked up.. this is GREAT... look forward to more shop time and less broom time.
This is WELL WORTH every penny i spent on this set up. I highly recommend it.
Dont know the numbers or cfm but ordered an anemometer and will try to figure it out, jus so i will know
