I went to order a onida 2hp system and was allset till I got knocked over withthe price of there ductwork and accessories. The system was 950 ish but the rep gave me a quote of 3k by the time I was done this wasnot even inthe ball park of what I can spend. I am a hobbiest and work in w two car gurage so I don't have a tome of shop area I do have about 8 machines though which he was telling me the blast gates are $$$. they recomended using one blast gate and moving the hose beween machines to cut cost but than what is the point I will just get a portable.
Anyhow I have to revalute my dust collection needs besides this system being to much $$$ it is way complcated to run the ducts in my gurage because of obstcals.
Is there any way to keep the cost down if not what is the next best solution. I have searched for PVC and just can't seem to find it local to me, Summit, NJ.
