DALSAW Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Grizzly's price for a 10' section of Black 4" hose is $11.95. So its about a $1.20 a foot even cheeper if you get a 20' peice. Of course you will have to pay shipping, that was $7.70 when I oredered some hose on the 29th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Both Woodcraft and Rockler have very nice 4" flex hose. It does cost about $30 for 10ft. Rockler actually has it on sale right now. It is what I have used a lot in my DC setup. Nice stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechwood Chip Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Marc has a good video on setting up dust collection ducts for Guildies. He talks about the features to look for in different types of flex duct towards the endof the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWrobel Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Harbor Freight had a kit with 2 hoses, some hose clamps and other parts like blast gates for $50. Woodcraft sells blast gates with 4 inch threads to match the hose. Although I still use the clamps, I have the replacement gates for when the hose falls off again (only has fallen off twice).

Beechwood Chip Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 The cheap gates got bad reviews on amazon, and the expensive gates are ... expensive, so I did some research on making my own gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
