Hi All,
I was looking around for dust collection hose options for my tiny shop, and came across the Rockler Dust Right 4" Expandable hose
http://ift.tt/1hyl1eF
The hose itself collapses to 1/7 of its expanded size (i.e. 14 feet collapses to 2 feet), and I like the idea/concept for a tiny space like mine where there is little room to swing a cat.
As mentioned my own shop is tiny to say the least, consisting of a 3 - 4m workbench with some benchtop tools (ScrollSaw, Combo Disc/Belt Sander, Drill bress, Mini bandsaw). These tools are primarily used for making wooden toys and models, and although a standard 2HP - 4" system would most probably deal with the dust production from most of these tools, it will fall quite short in CFM to capture the dust produced by the combo sander.
I have a 2HP dusty which i intend on modifying as previously outlined by BobL, to accept 6" pipe/hose and increase the CFM to something acceptable for my machines. Unfortunately, given my small space and current dust collector, there is no room (or CFM output) to be hanging 6" pvc runs or to have coils of 6" traditional flexy hose all over the workbench/ground.
Just wondering if anyone has seen something similar to the Dust Right expandable hose, but in a 5" or even better 6" diameter?
