Well, that worked out well.
Let us know how the bandsaw dust collection works.
Are you going to hook that to the vac or the cyclone?

In this case, there's really no downside to having 'too much'. The motor doesn't care, as choking down the air flow just reduces the load on the motor. If the blower has a better performance curve than what you were using, you'll still get more air flow through those small hoses than the old system. There really is no down side.
That was a steal, by the way.

I think I'm required to take it to the cyclone. It will take me a while to set this up...

I just bought an Oneida 5hp cyclone and a whole truck load stacked high with 8", 7", 6" and 4" ducting, wyes, flextubes, gates & a sweep for $400 on CL. It's from 2009 and was "only really used for 4 years".
The amazingly gracious seller also tossed in a larger Fein vacuum. Once I got home I was amazed to find that one of the galvanized fittings is the legendary accessory for delta 14" bandsaws that upgrades their dust port to 4" and encloses more of the underside. This is the bs I have and I don't even want to admit how much time I've spent online looking for this super rare accessory. Can you imagine the look on my face when I took this fitting over to see if there was any way I could make it work and it just bolted right on? Insert explicative.

If it can't kill you it probably ain't no good. Better living through chemicals.
