I was browsing PSI's catalog last night looking for a hood that I could use on both parts of the belt/disc combo. I'd seen and forgotten Loc-Line but saw the 2-1/2" setup in PSI's catalog that I think would work. I searched past Loc-Line threads and I think all the ones I saw were using it on a DP (one mention of TS use). So now I've got more questions.
Has anyone used one on a belt or disc sander with a hood, and if so does it work OK?
I also read in some of those past posts, that going down to 2-1/2" on a cyclone wasn't advisable, but then saw others saying that if this is combined with a 4" port I'd be OK?
I was planning on hooking 4" to the combo sander port then taking a Wye off and stepping it down to the Loc-Line to point a hood at whichever half of the machine I'm using. Sound OK?
Does anyone know if PVC S&D Wye fittings are made where one side is 2-1/2" or even 3"? I saw ones at Lowes yesterday like this for the other type of PVC fittings but haven't seen anything there or online that would fit S&D fittings. I'm sure I could piece-meal something together, but would rather use a single fitting if they make one. I've got room on the machine to use mostly PVC and leave it attached then just use a short flex hose to connect that up to the downtube.
