Finally ordered one and got it last week. So nice compared to my delta 12". Trying to decide if keep it sell the delta. Might be nice for real rough work to save dealt blades. That's another convo i guess.
As of right now my dust collection is a bigger shop vac on an auto switch to a bucket with the swirl lid. 2-1/2" hose to a double gated Y. One side to my miter saw and the other for other items. I can flip switch and just use that as a shop vac to clean up in the area, hook to my table saw, router table, whatever.
Here's the real question. I had to try the planer out last week and thus hooked it up to the dust system. The 2-1/2" hose goes onto the dust port adapter that came with the planer, so I ran with it. Closed gate to miter saw, opened the gate for the planer. Thought all was great, area was nice and clean. Looked over and sawdust was blowing out the miter saw. Apparently the fan with the shop vac is too much.
I did some looking and it seems pale either run it into a 55gal barrel with hole cut in top or into one of those bags, which some say fill up way to fast. Any feedback here?
Then I question the hose size. Says 4", but the 2-1/2" connected on the inside of the adapter. Can I use either with the 4" just being more efficient? Trying to decide if I order more of the 2-1/2 which I can use a fair amount of, but will have extra or if I should 100% order 4".
