I'm trying to decide if I should use pvc or metal ductwork for my dust collection system. Any one have any opinions or names of some suppliers I can get either at a reasonable price.
Tod I've found that after being used for awhile my PVC duct didn't have a static problem. Also it helps if the PVC isn't installed where its easily bumped into.if you go metal (i did and swear by it) don`t use hvac stuff you`ll suck it flat.
find a spiral pipe manufacturer locally as marty did or do like i did and salvage 1/8" wall pipe from a defunked feed mill.
pvc will work but there`s nothing you can do about the static.
Found a local suppliier of spiral metal duct and the price was right.
you`re under a grand right?
you should be delighted!
10' - 8" spiral
60' - 6" spiral
1 - 8" to 6" reducer
Would you happen to have a ducting layout that can be posted? IIRC you wanted the option of running more than 1 machine at a time?
