Thread: Does Oneida have something to fear from Grizzly?

    Chris, I too have the Oneida unit and can't say enough about how pleased I am with it, in a commercial environment. Have you considered a local HVAC supplier??

    I ran a 7" main around 36' with 5 x Y's reduced to 6" and down to 4 or 5" at some of the tools, there is a heck of a lot of pipe, Y's, elbows etc. I suspect I have about $900.00 Canadian which was a huge savings for me.

    I did look at PVC however I had PVC with the previous system and in the winter, with the wood stove going and the DC, man if you even came close to the pipe the static charge was enough on a couple of ocassions to burn my skin.....aside from being constantly annoying I didn't think it to be a real safe option for me.

    Good Luck!

    I'm using a combo of 28ga spiral pipe and 28ga snaplock HVAC ducting. Spiral pipe from a local distributor about 20 mins from me and the snaplock was from Home Depot.

    The 7x7x7 wyes were from a local distributor and the elbows are basic HVAC short radius adjustable elbows from Home Depot. My ducting was relatively cheap.

    10 feet of 7", 28ga spiral pipe was $31 Canadian
    10 feet of 6", 28ga spiral pipe was $25 Canadian
    elbows are a few bucks each at Home Depot
    28ga snaplock pipe in 7" or 6" diameters runs a few bucks for 30" lengths
    The 7x7x7 wyes were pricey at around $17 Canadian each.
    Misc reducers (like 7" x 6") are also only a few bucks.

    I made my own 7" blast gates.

    When you have the incredible performance of a large DC, you can cut a few corners with the ducting and save lots of cash.

    Cheers,

    Allan

    JR,

    What is the Woodworker's Supply catalog # with the new cyclone? I don't have the very latest catalog but I've scoured their online print catalogs and searched their website and can find no mention of a new cyclone. I'm curious to find out more info.

    Thanks,
    Todd
