I finally moved up from a shop vacuum to a real dust (chip) collector (1 HP Delta AP400). It has a single 4" intake port which faces downward, and I can't seem to attach the plastic flex hose so that it will stay attached to this intake port. It comes loose after moving the hose to a few different machines. I'm using a standard wire DC hose clamp shown in the attached photo.
I've been able to tighten the clamp as tight as possible, but the hose still wiggles off. I think my problem is one of these:
1. I don't know how to properly use a hose clamp. (but it seems so simple )
2. I need a different style of clamp.
I looked at the Lee Valley bridge clamps, but they claim to need 1/2" between hose spirals, which my standard plastic hose doesn't have. Maybe I need a different hose so that I can use these?
