I'm thinking about upgrading my dust collection and am looking at the Grizzly offerings. It looks like even the G0440 would be a major upgrade from my 2HP 12" fan Jet blower and Oneida component cyclone. But I'm wondering if it will leave me wanting for more? However the ~$4-500 price difference between it and the G0441 and the fact that my existing electrical circuit will be sufficient are quite attractive.
Shop is 30x32 with 12' ceilings which is important because it adds 4-8 extra feet of pipe over more common celing heights. My longest run is my jointer at close to 50' of 6" pipe, 360 degrees of elbows, a 6-4 reducer and a 6' length of hose. I plan to shorten the hose, but will end up with a similar amount of 4" pipe instead and another 90-180 degrees of elbows. My miter saw is similar with just a little less straight pipe and it will be 6" all the way to the hood, probably with no hose.
