I hate for my first post to be one that I know everyone has read a hundred times but I was hoping to get the most up to date info I can for the topic.
I am currently deployed in the US Navy (active 21+ years) overseas and have ordered an have a pile of parts, tools, lumber, etc waiting for me in my new garage workshop (work in progress). I have the new version of the 2HP HF DC. I purchased the Super Dust Deputy with the 6-INCH outlet and 5-INCH inlet. I wish that I ha waited for the XL but it's too late and I am already $150 invested so I am gonna try and work with it. I also have the Rikon impeller, delivered after 2 months of waiting...not that big of a deal since I've been gone the whole time.
I have read the article from GreyHouseStudios (http://www.grayhousestudio.com/harbo...collector-mod/) 100 times and was hoping for feedback on a few things.
1. If this setup works so well with the impeller feeding right into a short duct directly to a filter, why do so many people use the stock parts to set the filter like in the second pic below?
2. With the SDD only having a 5-inch inlet, will the setup accept 6-inch PVC? Can I modify the SDD inlet to be 6 inches...similar to the housing on the HF DC impeller? I found these guys after searching these forums and the prices aren't too bad. http://blastgateco.com/Spiral-Pipe-and-Fittings.php
Thanks for any feedback anyone has.
