DC Hose....anyone find a super-flexible 4" hose???

[George Farra]

Hi All

I've got my machines connected to my DC plumbing via 4" clear hose which is wire reinforced. The hose itself is pretty thick plastic and thus has very little flexiblilty and I find that it actually impedes the free movement of my machines when I need to reposition things in the workshop. Its a small space so I'm always moving machines around to accomodate workflow. Each machine is connected with a 10 ft hose which gives me enough length to move them around without having to disconnect the hoses.

I have a 2.25" hose on my shop vac that is 100% times more flexible. Anyone have a source for 4" flexible hose that you have been happy with? I think I purchased mine from Woodcraft.

Thanks

George

The 4" hose from Rockler is what i ended up with after having the same issue with the hose i bought from Grizzley. Rockler hose is much more flexible.

The 4 inch poly-urethane hose from Lee Valley is extremely flexible and tough..........Rod.

Peachtree (http://ptreeusa.com/dusthose.htm) has some really flexible stuff if that is what you want. Scroll down to "Dust Collection Black Super Flex Hose".

I have a 5" hose I bought from Wynn Environmenta (http://www.wynnenv.com/flexible_hose.htm)l. Heavy duty and extremely flexible.
