Took me a few weeks but finally got the new setup in place. I started out with some fairly long runs from my HF DC with 4" S&D pipe but it just didn't work for me with the bandsaw and planer at the end of the longest run.
In a 1 1/2 car garage type space there's just no easy way to arrange all this stuff. The best thing I came up with is the DC against one wall and all the major tools arranged in a semi-circle around it. Getting a setup where one tool doesn't interfere with the use of another is pretty tough. In order to rip anything longer than 8 feet on the table saw, I'd have to move the bandsaw. In order to bandsaw anything longer than about 4 feet, I'd have to open the garage door. Crosscutting a big sheet of plywood would be interesting.......but I plan to add a small outfeed table to the back of my BT3100 cabinet.
It's not pretty but so far it does work well.
