For those folks with Onefinity Elite Foreman, Z20 slider and Z motor with brake what system are you using to support the dust collection hose?
I am using 2.5 inch hose, dust separator and noisy shop vac.
I have found Rowdy Roman and Sola Fide Design online. Anyone got an opinion on which is better?
I’m using the same dust collection as you on a Woodworker. I already had some ABS pipe lying around so just got some 45° elbows and made my own. It’s not rocket science although I’ll grant it doesn’t look half as nice as Rowdy Roman’s.

I added the problem of a wider drag chain so had to create a franken bracket. The tube is a bend your own from Rockler (yeah Rockler, I was desperate) and dust hose is supported from above. It drops down about 7 feet and has a line from mid span to a pulley balanced with a weight remove i from the gantry. The bracket was made of scaps 5mm threaded rod, an old steel vidmar drawer partion, some nylock nuts. It screws right into the Drag Chain holes.It works great but is in need of tidy up work.
