I am in the process of re-arranging my shop and have a question for those of you who are smarter than me.....which means everyone.
Currently, my dust collector is outfitted with a hard plastic 4" smooth main collection tube that runs along the wall and sits right next to all of my machinery and does a good job sucking up all of the sawdust. One of my goals is to relocate it to a place where I don't hear the noise as much.
Here lies my ???
Leaving all of the collections gates where they are and extending only the main 4" tube, will it lose much efficiency moving it about 20' further than where it is now? I thought about moving it to test it but that would involve buying 20' of hard plastic tube and buying that just to find out it won't work seems a bit of a waste.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
Bob
