Smooth flexible hose
Have started the dust collection system installation. Will post photos as things progress. I am unable to tell from the various web sites if the vendor's flexible hose is smooth on the inside. Does anyone know who stocks such hose.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

I have always used this stuff.

Its bumpy on the outside, and the same on the inside. it does wear out though (holes get created), but for small shop use it will last years. used to last about 6 months on a 4 sided moulder.

I don't think it would be possible to make smooth flexi hose, it needs the zig-zag profile to be able to bend in the first place.

It's not as smooth as some bad it's not too bad either, Carbatec has one that is about the smoothest I have seen

Thanks for the replies. I have seen reference to smooth inside flex pipe. Can't remember where I saw it though.
