I am redoing my absolutely awful dust collection setup. Right now I have a setup with (picture at bottom):
* Oneida 4/5 super dust deputy
* Shop Fox 1.5hp dust collector
* wynn filter
I'm fixing this because this system is suuuuper bad downstream as I've consistently just hacked it every time I've needed it changed. And now it's a terribad setup, so I need to redo it - plus some of my tools stopped reaching.
What I don't know is whether 4" vs 6" pipe here matters if I have a relatively small DC. I don't have 240v for the DC either, so it's going to be limited to the roughly 1.5hp.
If I do 6, I'd have to get a larger dust deputy (this one only has 5" max). But I'd be able to do 6" everywhere else. I think the longest run is about 25 feet from here too.
With a relatively small DC and pushing through the Wynn filter does the 4" vs 6" even matter meaningfully? I'm not opposed to doing 6" main line, but I would have to replace the dust deputy, which is rather pricy. But I am redoing the whole thing so maybe that's worth it still?
Or should I just put 5"->6" adapters on the dust deputy.
What would you all do?
