What type of dust collector hose are you using on your mill?
Is PVC flex hose durable enough or do I need to go to a urethane flex hose?  The urethane is about twice the cost but wasn't sure if the PVC would hold up.

Here's the moderatly priced pvc hose I'm looking at:  https://www.ducting.com/smooth-tube-pvc?quantity=1&custcol_id_sizes=9&custcol3=22

Sawdust is very abrasive. I tried the cheap stuff but it didn't hold up. The purpose built hose with a built in ground wire is cheaper in the long run.

Can you recommend a source and a particular hose for use on sawmill and planer?

Wynn Environmental in PA. Its not cheap but the hose outlasted the sheet metal sawdust hood on the LT70 as well as the walls of the cyclone it was blowing into. Best I can remember it was the clear UC30 Woodworking hose, and I got the SS clamps from them as well.
