Looking for some ideas for hooking Flex hose onto the Rube Goldberg duct downtubes
http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=62995
I'm looking for another quick connect (tool-less) idea to plug a flex hose into the 6" and 4" SDR fittings on the end of my downtubes. My thinking is to leave a flex (or in some cases a PVC then flex) hose connected to machines and run the flex to the downtubes to plug it in. Not sure I can leave anything connected to the TS due to the fold-down roller table, but I think the Disc/Belt sander, the router table, bandsaw, and maybe the drill press and jointer could have something attached. The planer is also out as I couldn't fold up the extension tables and store it that way. Does metal ducting fit in the SDR fittings? I'm wondering about a short pigtail of metal duct on the end of the flex for plugging into the PVC. My flex is the Wynn stuff that I think other threads have mentioned wont fit over the S&D for a pigtail. If metal duct is too small, what about gluing an O-ring onto it to slip into the SDR fitting to grip and seal it?
Any thoughts?
