It took me awhile but I finally got my dust collection hookup like I want it. I have been tuning a bit to get the hose length right and adjusting the pipe placement from the ceiling. I purchased the black rotating ball at WoodCraft recently, it seems to be just the ticket since it allows the hose to swivel and keeps it from twisting. The lower hose fitting is new as well, it provides a better transition than the previous fitting I was using. I also moved the valve to the supply side of the pipe to save some ceiling space.
At some point in time I hope to redesign the dust foot so I can eliminate the 2.5" hose altogether. For now this setup is working well.
