    Glueing Metal to Wood

    PVC or Metal Duct for Dust Collection

    Now that I have a dust collector it is time to pipe it to the machines. I would like to use PVC for ease of installation but hear it is dangerous unless grounded inside and out. Any feedback on success or failures on the two systems would be welcomed. Thanks
