Ready to design my ductwork around the Oneida V-3000. I'm considering just having Oneida design the ductwork but I see their costs are a bit high but with free shipping on the 26ga pipe. Advantage is it is just done and shows up in a box and I get to the stuff I actually want to do sooner.
Decisions to make:
26ga pipe, spiral pipe, or Nordfab? Estimated costs are spiral 50% more, Nordfab twice the cost. Concerned that since I am just finishing the shop I'm going to need to make changes over time.
Where to buy ductwork if I do this myself? Local HVAC suppliers in Austin have a bad reputation (at least online) for price gouging non-pro's - not sure I'm going to save any money buying the ductwork locally
Machines to hook up:
3HP Sawstop PCS - to be purchased this month
16" jet bandsaw
J/P combo - currently Makita 2030 that I need to make some kind of DC connection for, hoping to talk the wife into a Hammer A3-31
Milwaukee SCMS - want to make some kind of hood, will accept a hose - is this worth a dedicated DC drop? Or just use a dedicated shop vac?
eventually a lathe but no timetable
floor sweep
Any recommendations on suppliers for pipe?
Any experiences or recommendations on 26ga vs spiral with modifying existing installations?
Any experience using Oneida design service?
