I've almost finished a new router table and I' thinking about dust collection for it. I don't plan to pipe my shop and I have a 4" quick disconnect on my DC host that i use on my planer, jointer, and another router table, at the cutter/fence only.
I'd like to come up with a plan to have a collection point under (at) the router itself (it's boxed in), then somehow 'T' off that externally to another that goes up to the fence (Woodpecker with 2 1/2" fitting), so that I can simply hook my quick disconnect into a single point and draw from both areas.
I'm thinking that 2 1/2" hose on each area would be fine for this purpose - am I wrong ? Then adapt it out for the 4" disconnect.
I also see though that the most available (selection) fittings/hose are 4", so I don't know if I can come up with an appropriate setup anyway.
Has anyone else done this ? Ideas ? Is my explanation clear ?
