flex hose least expensive

[markgum]

as I get my shop organized, and setting up my dust collection contraption. Where is the least expensive 4in flex hose found? I have only found them at Woodcraft and if I remember right a 'starter' kit was priced about $80. Thought about buying a couple of the dryer vent pipe, but wonder if it is tough enough.
I'm going to scan amazon/ebay and craigs list to see what I can find.
yeah, I'm planning my long weekend.. :biggrin: :biggrin:

Woodcraft has a few diiferent hoses to choose from starting at $22.99 for 4" x 10' light duty ... 4" x 10' med. duty clear is $33.99 fwiw

Grizzly has 4" x 10' black hose for 12.95 as well as other packages with fittings etc.

Harbor Freight actually sells a dust collection kit that comes with flexible hose, and it is actually smoother on the inside that most other flexible hoses. It is harder to bend it, but you lose less airflow due to less friction.
