Hey guys, I'm still working on setting up my shop and I've come to the point where I'm pretty sure where my tools will go for now.
I've done the rough math on how long the runs will be, bends, CFM requirements for the machines, etc. and I'd like some opinions on running 6" vs. 4" duct. I have a 2hp Grizzly DC 'rated' at 1550 CFM, which I plan to use on only one machine at a time. So my initial thought would be to take advantage of the power and air flow and run 6" to everything and make any nessasary modifications to dust ports like on the table saw.
My duct layout is pretty simple and probably won't exceed 50 linear ft. total. So the extra cost isn't as big of a deal.
I seem to get the impression from some sources that 4" duct just doesn't seem to get the amount of fine dust they'd like it to. Thing that I get mixed up on is that it looks like more people run 4" rather than 6".
I'm all ears!
