My new to me 20" planer has a 5" port for dust collection. I bought a 5" to 4" reducer to hook my 4" hose. It clears the hood top okay, but drops a large amount of chips on the table and on the board itself.
Is this typical of larger planers? Was thinking with the 20" width and planing smaller 6" boards, that the extra 14" of 'open' space creates a suction loss and may create the issue I'm seeing.
Would a 5" to 6" connection with a 6" hose directly to the DC help? I"m still dragging my 4" hose from machine to machine.
DC = Grizzly 2 HP
