Saw stop pcs

[pettyconstruction]

So I’m thinking about getting the PCS and my question is
Is there a special hose adapter that I need? I have 36mm and 27mm Festool hoses.
Also,should I think of a 50mm hose? Anti-static or non?
Thanks in advance,
Charlie

The saw should have dust collection top and bottom. Therefore you are going to need a more industrial dust collector. Sounds like a nice expensive upgrade and kinda hard to bring to a jobsite.

I have the saw stop contractor saw and recently picked up a powertec dust collector plus 4 inch hose for the saw, which totaled about $230.  This makes a world of difference in how much dust is collected.  Before that I was running a rigid shop vac with a Bosch hose.

I think I typed the wrong letters, I want the contractor saw.
Thanks for pointing that out.
So anything needed fo the dust in the job site saw?

Still a little confused. Sawstop has a Contractors Saw and a Jobsite Saw. Two different animals. I believe that the job site saw has a 2 1/2” dust port and the Contractors has a 4” dust port. Neither the 27mm or the 36mm hose will fit. I don’t know if there is an adapter available to make them fit and I also don’t know if the 50 mm hose (approximately 2”) can be made to fit??? I do believe that both of those saws have optional blade guards with dust collection above the table and your hose should fit onto those. At least mine does. Unfortunately that does not help you for the main dust collection below the table.

Thanks,
That was my question , what do I need to hook up the job site saw to a dust extractor?

You need to find out what size dust outlet the saw has for definite, if it’s 4” you will need a 4” pipe from the extractor, with a “Y” connection on the other end, then another length of 4” pipe from the “Y” into the bottom port of the saw, and on the other side of the “Y” you need 4”-2.5” reducer, and a length of 2.5” pipe to your saws blade guard port.

If your saw has a 2.5” bottom port, you will need a 4”-2.5” reducer etc.

So, usually the bigger extractors have a 4” or sometimes 6” inlet port. If it is 4”, you just need reducers and fittings to marry things up in any scenario.

If you’re running multiple machines off one extractor, you need to fit blast gates at each machine, so you can cut off the flow from every machine, except the one in use.
You basically run hard or flexible pipe to your various machine dust ports, using reducers, “Y” branches, bends, elbows and brackets etc. If only using one or two machines, you can share a flexible pipe, that can be attached or removed from one machine to the other.
Hope this makes sense.

The PCS has a 4" port, but you just need 1 4" connection, if you purchase the dust collection blade guard it includes an adapter for the blade guard port.

The job site saw has a 2 1/2"port (2 1/4" ID).  For my OSS, which also has a 2 1/2" port, I was able to use this adapter to connect it to a Festool D36 hose, but don't know if it will work with the Sawstop's dust port:https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000AV781/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Easiest way is to use a regular old "shop vac" hose. Like a Home Depot Ridgid hose, Craftsman, etc. That would be the same as a D50 from Festool. You won't get the anti-static of the Festool hoses though.

I personally use this hose, or at least I believe I do. They are in stock in Rohnert Park and Santa Rosa. It is "shop vac" sized. 2 1/2" hose ends are what you want for sure.https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-...PIPHorizontal1_rr-_-205576957-_-100375877-_-N

I have a Bosch 4100 saw, and always run it off a separate circuit from the dust collector using an Ivac dust collector switch. I lengthened the Ivac's dual cords, as they were ridiculously short.

I have a Laguna 2HP cyclone dust collector that I use on table saw, it works well.  I also use it on my bandsaw, jointer, and planer.  A year after I bought it, I got a CT26 for my track saw (I was using a “roaming” Ridgid shop vac).  I dedicated that Ridgid shop vac to my radial arm saw.  And I have a smaller shop vac I use to clean up at the lathe.
My wife is concerned that I have a “shop vac” fetish.  Is she right?

I have that same setup,
Tried it on my miter saw but now may use it for the sawstop.
