Cyclone style dust collector and hose size mayhem
So I want to connect a vacuum up to my table saw to reduce dust. I buy a cyclone-type dust collector. Then I sit and tie myself up in knots looking at the hoses, fittings and cannot work out what I need to complete the job.
This all looks fairly straight forward until you consider the diameters of the hoses/fittings.
| Ref | Device | Outside Diameter (mm) |
Inside Diameter (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vacuum | 35 | n/a |
| 2 | Dust Collector | 55 | 50 |
| 3 | Dust Collector | 55 | 50 |
| 4 | Table Saw blade guard | 38 | n/a |
| 5 | Table Saw chip case | 58 | n/a |
I’ll update this when I find the hoses and fittings required.
