I came into some money so I plan to upgrade my Dust collector.
Presently I am looking at the Ornieda V-3000 or the 3HP Super dust gorilla.
I have calculated the worst duct run. It is the equivalent of 71 ft of hard duct in series with 13 ft of 4in flexhose.
I calculated the pressure drop to be 5 inches.
From their chart I believe the SDG has 11inches of preassure at 600cfm ant the
V-3000 has 9 inches of preassure.
Do my calculations seem right? I used Rick Peters and some book by Woodstock Inter Inc to calculate the preassure loss. They gave foot equivs from the different types of elbows, wyes, etc.
I have no idea how much to had for filter loss.
The difference in price is about $400. I asked Ornieda and of course they said go with the more expensive one. I just would like a reality check
I would like to buy this week!
Thanks
Dave
