    Grizzly cyclone

    I just pulled the trigger on a Grizzly GO443 cyclone. Anyone has this? Also, any problems with this machine

    Like Bob, I have the 2HP unit and am very happy with it. Maybe a 1-1/2HP owner will chime in?

    I have the 3hp version and I've been very happy with it.

    I don't really recall any installation issues. Be aware that it's quite loud, so plan on building a sound closet if possible, mine dropped the sound level by 13dB. I also built an isolation stand so no vibrations would be transferred to the walls, see http://www.thewoodnerd.com/blog/?p=32 for a photo and a few details.

    It's not small, but the photo angle makes it appear even bigger than it is.

    Cliff, I was looking on your web site and I see you are/or have build a sound closet for your cyclone to make it not as loud. Can you give me some information on how and what you used in making your silence room and possibly some pictures? If you have any?

    Thanks Richard

    I'm putting finishing touches on my DC closet. If you will PM me an email address, I'll send you a set of photos from beginning to (almost) end.

    best place for sound closet ideas

    is the site for the clearvue cyclones. they have a section where users post pics of their setups - I got a lot of good ideas off that site when I installed my cyclone
