The 4" provided a larger area of vacuum.dlbristol wrote:I played with Nicks formulas as well and came up with the same numbers. Since it makes very little difference apparently, I will stay as is and spend my money on something else. I did try an experiment with a clean up of chips on the floor, and the 4 in hose worked better than the reduced 2.5 did. Not enough to temp me to take off and put on the reducer! I suspect that the issue for my situation is that the length of the hose is not enough to produce any real advantage either way. If I was doing a collection system, the difference would be much greater. Thanks
