real Flexible hose/ ducting, a thank you!

[blackrodd]

Sometime last week, I read a thread on these useless, so, called flexi hoses that come with the cheaper range of collectors, and I have one of these, it makes the unit unusable.
A member, in reply, gave a link to fleabay and said that this seller's hose were really good and would do the job well as he had bought some 65mm, I think. So I bought some 4" and 2 1/2"with reducer, and clips.
Well, I have tried to find this topic, to say a really big thanks,whoever you may be!
My extractor, which has been gathering dust is now working, and sucking well, and the hose doesn't fall off, now!
I am halfway through an oak winder set of stairs, and the dust is a real nuisance, as i only have a shop vac with auto tool socket, for the small stuff router, sanders etc.
Great stuff on here again, many thanks, regards Rodders

In case you are waiting, they're under Evcevent The 100mm is £8.70 inc. delivery item110918247105 on Ebay.
They do most sizes of really good flexible pipe, also reducers, clips etc.
No link, sorry, I am not too good on the computer.

Sorry, about this lads, it's a bit off topic, but do silicone reducers do the do for this application - they seem preferable to gaffer tape and such like (to my inexperienced self anyway)?!?

Wire clips are supplied with the original hosing which will not bend beyond the tight circular shape it arrived at.
As I said in the first post, I bought a reducer. These all fit nice and snug to the piping now!
Gaffer tape is very good, but personally, I wouldn't use it for a main component in a build, I've seen wodges of the stuff used, excellent stuff, that it is! Regards Rodders

Thanks Rodders, I was thinking of, for example, a silicone reducer from a 120mm bandsaw exhaust, to the 100mm of the extractor, and also whether they would be suitable for attaching/reducing for power tools (like a Festool sander/Jig saw) from a further line on an ad hoc basis ?
I'm getting quite confused here like, so I may have to start yet another extraction thread

Orchard,
I bought a small, cheap, collector with a 100 inlet, this is reduced to 65mm for my baby (6"x 4"), much used thicknesser.
Does the two saw benches and band saw, when needed, too!
My Scheppach 250 (10"x 6") P.Thicknesser is on the full 100 mm hose.
Then the router, sander's, and biscuit joiner( handheld etc ) are on a Draper 1100 vac with auto power socket.
This works for me as I rarely do much repetition work mostly one off's, like the oak winder stairs set I am on at the mo'
Also I'm in no rush, I enjoy what I do, work wise.
Does this go towards answering you're question?
Regards Rodders

Haha, not really, but thanks anyway Rodders

1. After your initial post, I searched Ebay for reducers in an attempt to find what you were so pleased about, and found these and other variants like bends etc.:

I was wondering about the suitability of these for our extraction applications, especially temporary ones where one had an outlet for say a 30mm power-tool, like a sander, would they be any good at forming good temporary, as well as permanent, seals ?


As an aside, i'm not sure how to design a two-year 'system' for myself (we'll be moving in the near future), with the old extractor that I have at my disposal. It's a 1hp single bag type badger from the Seventies or Eighties, it only has to serve a single garage, with a bandsaw 2m distant on the same side, and a Multico 5in1, drill press, RAS, and hand tools being used on the other.
I was initially thinking of buying a kit, but they lend themselves to a more permanent set-up. So i'm currently thinking of a splitter close to source, followed by two blast gates, with 100mm going straight to the BS 120mm via a reducer, and i'm not sure about the other spur, and whether it's worth while plumbing it across the ceiling, or whether, because it's temporary, and such a small space) I should just have a flexible tube terminated in some manner to give versatility and plumb it into which ever device I need to use..............lol

Sorry, Orchard, I think I understand you now!
Davem62 has kindly posted a link, Check out what's offered for sale, I had a metal 100mm-65mm reducer sent and it's a good fit. Mind you, so it ought, as it's their products.
From what I can see there's very little collaboration by manufacturers on dust or extract porting and it's not always simple to get tubing and ducting to fit each application,
A hot air stripper gun used on plumbing plastics, to expand or what ever can usually work in conjunction with a couple of turns of gaffer tape, works for me, anyway. Regards Rodders
