Yes, I have the clamp. I am going to poly the bottom of the drum when I find some time, I have three projects going that I need to get finished plus my usual estimates to get done.

Matt & Jeff, as I stated in my post, Oneida did send me a new drum and lid. What are the odds that I got two leaky drums when none of their other customers are having the problem. I coated the first...

My main starts out as 6" spiral pipe then drops to 5". The drops to the machines are 4". Oneida says an air leak is the only thing that can deform the gripper (see my picture). Is that true? Why...

Some of you may have read my posts over on Woodnet concerning my Oneida V3000 cyclone that I installed in January. It super deforms the bag gripper in the drum. Oneida sent me a new drum and lid and...
