Hello,
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
As I stated in another thread.
I have the HF 2hp duct collector that I installed the thien baffle in.
The DC is in the garage (workshop in the basement) I ran 4" pipe threw the wall. I left the wye on the DC so I can also have dust collection in the garage as well.
I'm a little underwhelmed about the amount of suction it has. I attached a 2.5" shop vac hose and started to vacuum up the floor. It sucks it all up! Which is good.
But if I put my hand over the hose there is not enough suction to keep in on my hand without falling off. Is this normal?
I may eliminate the dust bag and pipe the exhaust to the outside world, not sure about that yet.
Picture 1: Shows a shop vac hose attached. I will eventually make a distribution box with sliding ports to as a central blast gate distribution point.
Picture 2: DC in the garage, I will eventually move the blower unit 90 degrees and up the wall to connect directly to the separator as well as eliminate the long hose to the PVC pipe in the wall.
Picture 3: Pipe threw the wall with a port for expansion.
Picture 4: Pipe turning over been with a sweeping el dropping at 45 degrees.
Thanks,
