Just hooked up my 15" planer to my new Clearvue cyclone and it is Loud. So loud the volunteer fireman 4 houses down the street jumped off his lawnmower and sped away in his car..........
It was always loud with the 2 bag DC but it's over the top now. There's an adjustable plate near the cutterhead that's supposed reduce noise but it has no effect no matter where I put it.
I used a standard 12" x 4" x 6" diameter register duct adapted to the stock exhaust after removing the 4" port. It had no trouble sucking up the chips from a 12" piece of white oak which would bogged down the old dc.
Any suggestions??
TIA
