    If this is the case why are 4 & 6 inch ductwork used in shop dust collector systems, rather than 3”? Close things up too much and air flow drops off, rather than increases. The fan is not a constant volume air mover…

    Glad you found the blockage and your jointer sucks again!
    Too much to do...Not enough time...life is too short!
