Dust extraction system - PVC versus Acrylic ducting

[Haywoon]

Good replies from everyone. And certainly a subject that has divided opinion.
Metal ducting is so much cheaper, even from Axminster.
However, I think I will go down the PVC road and add earthing wires.

Not many places sell the plastic ducting specifically for woodworking.
West Country Machinery do and Axminster of course, but why is it so expensive for what it is.

Where else can I check online. Else, I will simply nip down to West Country Machinery and get what I need, which is ideal for me, apart from the cost!

I am hoping my 2KW 100mm Camvac (Wll mounted with bag) will be enough to get me started. Only one machine at a time using blast gates and a short run of ducting for my Table saw, Bandsaw, Thicknesser and router table. Thats all I want it for.

Thanks

Charnwood also sell it but I reckon its very closely priced to that sold by Axminster - I suspect they are all from the same manufacturer. As to why its so expensive, I wondered the same thing, it seemed like a lot of money for plastic but I'm no expert!

I've bought quite a few bits from this company https://www.i-sells.co.uk/?gad_sour...34oO1LKz8GMAZg9Abje6E4tt1oVzBWqUaApfHEALw_wcB

They have an extensive selection of materials and fittings to choose from.
