POWERTEC 2-1/2'' x 36'' Dust Collection Hose, 2.5 Inch Flexible PP Dust Collector Hose for Table Saw, Miter Saw, Drill Press, Belt Sander, Woodworking and Wood Shop Dust Collection System (70198V)

This is a versatile low(ish) cost solution for dust collection. The fit is very good and tight onto a rigid vacuum port, and can be manipulated to turn corners in tight spaces etc. without kinking like a clear-flex hose, or without adding difficult coupling lengths when you use rigid pipe. The bend & hold aspect works very well, and the pipe doesn't compress under vacuum or expand/blow out when used on the end of a planer which blows more air that a rigid will suck. I found that the 'fit' on the end of the planer wasn't quite as snug and required a simple hose clamp so the planer didn't eject it immediately. Fit on my other fixtures was very tight and though you can certainly hose clamp them all (especially if your at your final solution), I've had no issues simply using tape. The hose holds its shape in both situations and I was able to fix both situations with a single 36" pack, which I cut with snips and a utility knife. This was a big upgrade from clear flex-hose which compressed or flapped when sucked/blown and required more bracing etc.

This hose did not work for me. The inside of the hose is so slippery that the hose kept pulling from the connectors even after I tightened the clamps as tight as possible.

Fit my table saw exhaust perfectly so I could collect the saw dust into a 5 gallon bucket.

Worth the buy
