Just a week ago picked up the HF 2HP DC. I've read a lot of the threads here about DC ducting but now that I actually have one, a whole lot more questions come to mind !
My inital idea was to implement something like this drawing on the Rockler site:

The ducting up to the ceiling, across, and back down to my table saw from the DC would be about 20 feet. The ducting to the floor sweep would be about 15 feet. And the ducting to where I now have the router table would be 28 feet ! Is it ridiculous to think I'm going to get enough suction that far away ? I wanted to get some feedback before I started actually connecting these things.
Will I be better off running 5" hose / piping ? Especially for these distances -- will that help ?
Thanks guys -- as always -- I appreciate the advice !
