Just a simple heads up. Very good price, and quality appears to equal the one I replaced, which was in service for over 6 years connected to the shopbot.

Hopefully stands the test of time, but hard to beat quality, price, and
are you sitting down....

Made in America!!!!

Wow.

That's the same stuff I bought. Haven't used it much but it seems to be pretty tough. Liked it so much I bought a second roll for the CNC

I take that back. I just double checked and the stuff I bought was.

Looks to be roughly the same price per ft.

It is good stuff, but one of the reasons for the good price is that you are only getting ten feet of hose, while the other Amazon site shown is for twenty feet of the same hose.

I have that same tube. On my old dust collector it was great. I now have an Oneida 5hp collector and that pipe gets crushed under all of the suction. It's more the dust collectors fault than the pipe, but I have to replace a bunch of my piping with hard pipe.

Its best to run hard line as much as possible anyway, lots of friction loss in flex, proper sizing and reduction is important if you have a relatively long run.

I've got a pretty short run (the dust collector is right next to the machine) it's just amazing how powerful this new system is... The flex line offers WAY more suction than I need, my only issue as I said is that the line crushes under all of the suction! :)

Wow - a buck a foot. Pretty good deal. I really only needed the 10' so still wasn't the right deal for me.

BTW - I've purchased lots of DC equipment/supplies from Penn State Industries over the years. About 6 months ago, ALL dust collection supplies disappeared from their website and catalogs.
Anyone know what happened there?

Make sure you buy enough for several lifetimes....

In case you were wondering, it stays supple after 20 years on the shelf :p

Although twice the price others are typically much heavier duty vinyl.
You do get what you pay for.

I had a PSI woodworking cyclone dust collector... It was a rebranded Chinese unit. Not sure why but they dropped that whole line and don't support it anymore. I ended up with a new Oneida system and I couldn't be happier with the system and the support.
