    Routing of Dust Collection Ducting?

    Hello all...in a previous post I mentioned that I had just received my IS510 from ShopSabre. Looking through their manual, I see how they recommend running the flex hose on the machine but I am wondering how those that have CNCs run their overhead fixed ducting. I was thinking that I would run the fixed to somewhere over the middle of the bed and then elbow done to some (?) distance. My thinking was that mid-point of the bed would be good for back and forth on the the "Y" axis but thought I would check with those that have already set theirs up. Thanks for any info. BTW...working on a layout so I can send it to a few companies that do free layouts so asking questions upfront before they ask them of me.

    Ours is over the center of the spoilboard with a swivel hose connection.

    Apologies for posting a response twice...somehow when I was looking on my iPad I didn't see I had posted several weeks ago. At any rate, waiting for a quote from Blast Gate to do clamp together ducting for my entire shop.
