    looking for dust collection hose clamps for 5" ductwork

    Found lots of band clamps that go up to 5" and from 6" on up, none seem to cover 4-6". The 6" ones don't have enough little screw slots punched into them to get them down to 5". Specifically want to clamp 5" flex hose over rigid 5" sheet metal ducts. Anybody find a source that will clamp 5.5" or so and they aren't $3.50 each as I will need lots of them? I've checked Lowes, Home Depot, Oneida, McMaster Carr, Tractor Supply, etc. Randy

    Beranek's Law:

    It has been remarked that if one selects his own components, builds his own enclosure, and is convinced he has made a wise choice of design, then his own loudspeaker sounds better to him than does anyone else's loudspeaker. In this case, the frequency response of the loudspeaker seems to play only a minor part in forming a person's opinion.

    These are only $1.89 each, not sure if and what shipping is if you need it. Had a similar problem with a different size until I found these larger sizes.

    The nice thing about the clamps I mentioned is that the screw pivots which allows for easy macro adjust. Kind of like on the jet parallel clamps where you have a macro adjust by pulling the lever.

    Another solution would be to put two smaller clamps together to get the size you are looking for.

    I have 5” ducts, got mine from highland woodworking after a lengthy search. They’re perfect.

    My local Ace Hardware sells a variety of sizes of hose clamps.

    I concur with Steve and Randy. We wood turners do this all the time to clamp together segmented rings during glue up.

    I just picked up a couple 5" hose clamps from Amazon.
