I want to make a hose reel, so the shop vacuum and a cyclone (CV06) can stay in an out-of-the way part of the shop. Moving a hose around seems better than moving a vacuum AND a cyclone on a bucket. (For floor-sweeping, not for the saw or other power tools).
Videos by folks who've done this mention a swivel connector on the reel...the hose from the center of the reel to the vacuum/cyclone doesn't turn but the reel does.
Who makes these connectors? Good/bad experiences?
I'm using a Ridgid wet/dry vacuum ("6.5 peak HP motor"). At what length of hose am I going to notice poor suction?
