Here are two grizzly dustcollectors one with the bag filter is 2hp 1550 cfm and the other 2hp 1700 cfm see the differences not just the filters.

exactly.. the yellow pipe that feeds the collector is smoothe bore, made by a company called flexaust... I have a piece ordered for the outlet hose to replace the factory one...
On the other hand.. the thing realy is over kill for everything I need, the excetion being the planer.... when running one machine, say the lathe for instance, if I open a second gate the motor speeds up .. quite a bit... the static pressure drops slightly, even though the motor/wheel has sped up.... I'm thrilled with the effciency of the system... a huge up grade over what I had before....
I guess its time to reorganize the shop.
