Greg, is the 8' of 5" hose attached to the wall or permanently mounted or do you pull it around and hook it up each time you use a separate tool? Also is the hose really 5" or 4" I have not seen any 5" hoses unless it is tin. Also the new DeWalt portable vac has a HEPA filter and collects down to .03 micron. This rating is better than the air purification system I purchased for overhead room circulation which is only 5.0 microns.
I tried the wall types but all of the bags as originally purchased were 30 microns. You can purchase the 5 micron bag from Rockler for their DC but I still had a shop covered with fine dust and also my wife's car and ON THE OTHER SIDE of my shop wall. I am still not sure what to try now. Have not hooked-up the shop vac {.03 micron) yet. Need to take everything out of shop, clean and start over. Shop is only 8 x 15.
Most of my problems are coming from dust created from radial arm, drill press, and table saw. Do not have any type of suction apparatus hooked up to those tools. Looking for plans or ideas. Appreciate you feedback.
