I was going to get a 1HP dust collector to use with the machines in my garage/workshop. I was thinking I would replace my shop vac with the DC so I won't take up too much space.
The person at the store said it is a bad idea to use my PC 5" random orbit sander and a DC. Something about not enough air would get to the DC and the air would cavitate making the suction poor. I really don't want to take up space with a DC & a shop vac. I was going to add 3 feet of 2" hose to the 4 foot long 4" hose the DC came with.
Anyone have experience with using a 1HP DC and a 5" sander?
