I'm in the process of hooking up my new to me 5hp Oneida high vacuum dust collector. I would like to run a 6" to the saw and a 4" to the overarm. I do have an issue that the saw uses a 4" flex inside the saw to the blade and what I think is 1.5 to their over arm. Here is my idea cut a 6" hole in the bottom of the saw (the saw is on the second floor and the DC is downstairs) and just drop the bottom of the 4" into the pipe this would also keep the cabinet clean as dust does gather in it.

I will also run a 4" up the wall and over to the over arm which would also be suspended from above and transition down to the existing guard. does this make sense?IMG_1802 upright.jpg
Of course, I would put a plate over the existing hole.IMG_1800.jpg
