Welcome to the forums Andrew.

I want to upgrade my dust collection system and could use some interpretation on what is best and maybe some of you have each product or maybe have owned both for some reason.  My budget is 4k, but I would like to be lower as I'll need to buy some 6" pipe and fittings.  I plan on running 6" from the machine throughout the shop and maybe reduce to 4" and sometimes 2" depending on the machine.  An Avid CNC is in my future as well.  Other than that, I have a PM table saw, a router table, a Festool Kapex miter saw station, a Dewalt planer, and one of those hose reels from FastCap. The contenders are ClearVure's Pentz EF5 with Filters - single phase or something similar by Oneida.  I'll take other recommendations in the same price range, but those are the ones I'm looking at.  I'm upgrading from the HF dust collector. Thank ahead of time for your input.

I for one hope you document the build I really enjoy following your very detailed builds.

Thanks for the link, I'll try to follow along too.  My kit is for the Wood Duck 12 and is from Chesapeake Light Craft also. I only live an hour away from them and I hope to pick up the kit next week. https://www.clcboats.com/shop/boats/kayak-kits/wood-duck-12-hybrid-recreational-kayak-kit.html
