Getting curious about the value of a cyclone vs. a bag dust collector. I currently have a 1.5hp Shop Fox Dust collector in my shop. I have built in pipe to the lathe station and am planning to modify the piping to have solid metal or PVC pipe to improve effeciancy. Multiple ports to shorten the flex hose runs to the machines. The TS, Jointer, Shaper, Bandsaw, and planer are all mobile. I am also planning to change the way the collection is at the lathe station to improve chip collection. Do the cyclones have more collection power than a similar hp CFM bag system? how are they on noise? In short guys whats the difference?
