Guys & galls,
Currently I have the following setup:
- 5 inch overal ducting with blastgates
- thien baffle with 5 inch in & outlet.
- 2HP dustcollector with 5 inch in - outlets.
- 5 inch metal dust seperator with a cartridge filter and a plastic bag to get the rest of the dust
I have the opportunity to by a 10 HP dustcollector with an in and outlet of 8 inch.
I was wondering if replacing my current 2HP unit with the 10 HP, then make a transition of the 8 inch in & outlets to the THienbaffle & the metal dust seperator's 5 inch intakes, would improve my overall dust collection.
Is the 10 HP unit strong enough to overcome the smaller duct size ? Or is the added HP not going to matter if I do not upgrade all of the ducting to 8 inch ?
thanks!
Martin
