This is an excellent Dust Collection Hose. It does measure a consistent 4" and always fit easily over the connection fitting. It is somewhat flexible and very rigid, but will not coil back into itself. This might be a problem if you move your equipment back and forth.

The other hose options are a Clear Hose, which allows you to see any possible clugs and air blocks in the DC system. And there is a 50 foot coil hose, which is not as rigid, but it is sturdy and it will coil back into itself, allowing for the movement of machinery.

I used all three in my DC system. The clear hose where large particles would be generated (lathe, bore machine), the 10 foot rigid hose in areas that would always remain fixed in location. And the 50 foot coil hose (cut up, of course) on machine that I move back and forth from the wall to the garage floor. I don't have endless space in the garage for all the "needed" equipment I have to use.

All three hoses work just fine, no problems, no issues.

This hose fits the standard 4" couplings snugly. The nice thing is that it will not get damaged by accidentally stepping on it. It springs back. It is light enough to be used as a movable hose for picking up a pile of sawdust. It isn't affected by a strong vacuum, so it is strong enough to not collapse without springing back. Nice job Jet. It is a wire reinforced hose.
The wire clamps are the best to secure it. Typical band clamps, like the type that are used for water hoses are not suggested. They spread themselves over the coiled wire. Such a wire is not meant to collapse. The wire clamps on the other hand are meant to slide down in between the wires, meeting with the plastic hose material, enabling the preferred compression directly onto the sleeve. Jet makes nice wire clamps as well.
Overall highly recommended.

I use several of these hoses in my shop to connect power tools to my Jet vacuum system. They work great. They work the best with the wire clamps. I recommend using a distribution of rigid plastic or metal pipe to get to the woodworking machine, then use one of these hoses to connect the machine to the rigid system. These hoses also can be used to vacuum the floor or other areas but are a bit clumsey due to the large diameter.

I bought this hose to use with a Jet dust collector in my one car garage wood shop. Though my shop is small and the collector is very portable, I decided that the best dust solution for me was to duct the collector down one wall of the shop with several gated outlets for various stationary tools and one gated outlet near the floor for mobile tools out in the center of the room.

This 10' Jet hose proved to be an essential component of this system. I used 4' lengths of galvanized metal duct everywhere that I could, but I still needed plenty of this flex hose to make the connections to my radial arm saw and miter saw (since the dust ports on these tools move while in use).

I have been very pleased with the rigidity and strength of this hose - in fact, my only beef is that it is almost too rigid. If you have a length of it that you use for mobile tools, it is very cumbersome since it does not easily roll up for storage.

I am happy to report that this hose fit perfectly on all of my 4" dust collection fittings (all of which were made by Jet also). In my opinion, the hose is well made even if its a bit too rigid, and the price is ok. I have also used the Woodstock International hose and find it to be cheaper and more flexible but not nearly as strong or crush resistant. Choose the one with the features that meet your needs.

I selected this product on basis of price alone (don't do that!). The hose works well with my 2 1/2 HP dust collector. The problem I have with it is I'm switching it between 3 different machines. As time has gone by (6 months) the ridges have started to fatigue and the hose is 'kinking' in places. My estimation is this hose would be fine if left stationary. For a moving configuration, buy something with more flex.

Not very flexible, so doesn't turn corners real well. Actually, it doesn't even want to bend much at all. I ended up throwing it all away and ordering some more Clear flexable tubing. It is GREAT!

An A+ product and a reasonable price. Be ready to warm up this hose to get it flexible and buy the grounding kit...plastic hose can really build up static electricity...

This is very much a rip off. This hose is nothing more than 4" corrugated drain pipe. You can get a 100 feet of this stuff online for 50 bucks! [...] So tell me, why are we paying 15 bucks for 10 feet. That would be 3x the price it sells for at hardware stores. I'm totally pissed that I bought this. For just about the same price you can buy a dust collection hose that not only is flexible but will fold up like an accordion when not in use. Either jet is trying to pull the wool over our eyes, or someone at Outlet Tool Supply is.

This is fine for connecting to the machines directly, more than flexiable enough if you have them on wheels to move around. For the long runs from the vacuum itself, I used thin wall sewer PVC from Lowes. This is about $8 for 10' length, so half the price of the Jet hose. With smooth walls, it should be better for air flow too. The joint fittings are comparable in price, so even buying the reducer to fit the PVC to the Jet hose, I still saved a lot of money... I needed 3 24' runs of piple for my shop to hook up 8 machines.

Use thin wall PVC sewer pipe for long runs, and get the 4" to 3" inside diameter PVC reducer... it fits perfect inside the Jet hose. Connect this hose to the reducer and the machine and you're in business...

I PURCHASED THIS BEFORE I REALIZED I COULD HAVE PURCHASED TWICE AS MUCH FOR A ABOUT THREE BUCKS MORE.Jet JW1032 4-Inch x 20-Foot Black Dust Collection Hose
