i know this isn't the advice you asked for but if going the CV route, consider the max and 7" mains with 5" or 6" drops.? You are running some decent sized equipment and the performance will be much better with a larger system.? The CV will add only about $250
and the pipe cost will likely increase another 250+ but well worth it.? 4" drops are a bed idea even with the 1800 but the 16" blade on the max will really pull cfm and either the 7" or 8" reducing to 7" down the line will increase cfm.? DC is all about reducing
the size of the dust envelope around the machine when in use and cfm is the best answer.?
Even if you stay with your original duct plan, for 250 you hedge against the downside with the Max.? If you guess wrong, the upcharge is much less than replacing the blower and cyclone.?? Dave

I'm following up on some research from a while back on dust collection ducting.?
A while back, one user here shared that"blastgateco.com has the very same ducting as Norfab at lease 35% less expensive." I see that there are four different product lines for the piping: CT pipe (the least expensive) and "heavy duty" ducting in five gauges:
12, 14, 16 and 18. I will most likely be getting the Clearvue CV1800 unit, with a 6" main duct and 4" drops. The unit will service five machines in a 25 x 20 foot area (with possibilities of reaching out to two other corners of the shop). The machines are
a 20" jointer, KF 700, a 15" planer, a 19-39 Supermax sander and a SawStop table saw. Can anyone advise on what guage ducting to buy? (There's also the less expensive option of pvc sewer pipe, but I don't much like the look of it.)?

Acharya,
I can offer just a data point. My basic 5” spiral pipe (not clamp type) from Rockler is 24ga. I have no concerns that it will collapse under negative pressure and is plenty sturdy otherwise. Their 6” pipe is also 24ga. The larger the dia heavier the ga. I am not sure how long a section is of the clamped pipe you are considering and how close or afar are the hanging supports on it.
Imran?

I have CT and been very happy with it throughout my shop. Blast Gate has been great to work with.
Thanks,

Annu,
Glad you are up and running.
If it was me, I would at least open the old motor to see if the short is outside the windings. Like damaged insulation of the connecting wires. You cannot damage it much more.
Curious if any of our motor experts would recommend saving the old motor to salvage bearings if the need arose. It is not worth it for saving money but seems like a good way to insure against obsolescence.

Hey All,
My hammer is now working.
Brian,
Thanks for your advice about bolting down the motor and seeing if it straightens out, that did the trick. ?BTW, your parallel arms my be my favorite accessory.
Imran/Roger,
Thanks for all your advice and troubleshoot tips on the electrical system.

So I am to understand that the remote blade start switch that is located at the end of the slider (option from Felder) is wireless and battery operated?? If so, is that not a safety issue as what if the battery is bad/switch fails when one is trying to

Re: Remote Start Switch suddenly stopped working on K700s
You still have other stop switches, at least on the models I am familiar with, along with the emergency stop.

Re: Remote Start Switch suddenly stopped working on K700s
Not an issue, the stop on the newer saws is 24v run via the rail, only the start is remote. This was implemented due to eu rules that require a stop where there is a start (or something like that) to older saws only had start

Glad that worked, extruded aluminum is usually not too brittle, so I hoped that they wouldn’t crack. Also happy to hear that you really like the parallel fences!
