I also particularly admire the way in which you did not tidy up for the sake of the photos so we are seeing you as you really are . ( LOL) . Looking forward to a final report on that system . ( but is it ever really over ? )
Nice work anyway .

My crappy old Axminster bandsaw has two 4" take offs but I've never got satisfactory extraction from it even when running two extractors, one off each port which is also a bit of a pain.

Use only conductive materials for ductwork so that any static electricity generated can be discharged to earth.
