Cyclone hoses...

Does anyone on here use the Chinese knock off cyclones with the 50mm ports.
I've got one and it's great but moving it around with the shop vac is a pain so I want to permanently mount both in the shop.
For me to be able to use the cyclone and mount it would mean using a 10 meter hose to the tool 'TS55 REBQ'.

Has anyone done this and used a long 10 meter, do you suffer with any loss in suction and where do I get a 10m 36mm pipe, festool prices for their pipe is out of justification for an enthusiast like myself.

I have seen 20m 35mm pipe for sale in the UK at a good price so will the Festool 36mm connectors fit?

I have successfully fit a 35mm hose onto the Kapex's 36mm connector by removing some material inside the 35mm hose with a Dremel (with a sanding drum). It may work if your 35mm pipe has a thick enough skin. If it is a permanent connection, softening the end of the 35mm hose with a heat gun may also help.

To make things easier to move around I mounted both the shop vac and dust deputy to a simple cart made from a cheap furniture dolly.

I don't have the pace for a tall dust cart, my shed is very small so I would prefer to build everything in to increase space.
