Dust Extractor with 6-inch fitting
Hi All,
I'm in the process of upgrading my dust collector (an old 1HP Scheppach) to something a bit bigger.
My original plan was to move to something like a CT-002V 2HP (Carbatec) with twin bags and supposedly rated at 2000 cfm?? To keep the cfm as high as possible I'm planning to use 6 inch ductwork. However, all the collectors I've had a look at have only 4 inch ports (sometimes they have three 4 inch ports such as in the case of the CT-002V).
So my question is - how do you connect 6-inch ducting to an extractor with a 4-inch inlet? Are there manufacturers that provide a 6-inch replacements to the standard 4-inch inlet?
Please note, i'm not after a 4-inch-to-6-inch duct adaptor.. rather a replacement of the actual inlet setup itself.
Regards,
Callan

Most of the two and three 4" ports that I've seen are actually adaptors that just pop onto 6" outlets direct from the fan. Certainly that's the case with my Jet.
So you just take off the bit of black plastic, and toss it, and away you go.
Cheers,
P

If you do a search "bitingmidge ducting" you'll find a five year running joke!
I have 6" ducting, and currently it's about a metre short of every machine! Every time I get close to finishing, I think up a new project!
But it might happen over Easter, you never know!

Cost the price of the 6'' fittings first before you become to set on using that size. Some of the elbows, bends etc are in the $45-50 region. I'm doing mine in 6" but it is going to hurt every time I buy a fitting.
