I currently am using a Delta 1.5HP dust collection system. Not long ago in a trade I managed to get a 37'' duel drum sander. I love it but my Delta (which is only about 10 ft from my sander) is just not doing the job.
To compound the problem I only have a sealing height of about 78".
I think because of that a cyclone is out. I'm in the basement and there is no chance of setting something outside.

Question: If I purchased a 3 hp dual bag system will this be enough? My sander would still be about 10 feet from the unit, but my longest run would be about 55 ft (not counting the drop) to a miter saw. There would be several drops between but there would be a shutoff on each of course.

I'm guessing I would be running 4" plastic pipe.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks -
