Hi,
I have the opportunity to get a 3HP cyclone DC (240v, HEPA cartridge, 7" dia. inlet, 9" dia. discharge). That's the good news. Bad news is my shop situation is up in the air right now so I can't add ducting and drops at this time.
Would there be a problem if I connect a 3HP DC to 5" (or 6") x 15' flexible hose and move it from tool to tool?
I know it's not ideal, but I'm interested in this work-around because of the potential to grow into a 3HP DC. I don't mind the inconvenience of moving tool to tool. My tools are your typical weekend warrior assortment of woodworking tools - planer, jobsite TS, router table, DeWalt RAS, 12" disk/6"x48" belt combo sander - all on mobile bases. Just wondering if there is any downside to running a DC that is admittedly oversized to my current situation for the time being.
Thanks for the help.
