Cyclone.. Which one? ClearVue won

[Ed Lang]

At the end of this thread I will post that I have put a ClearVue on order.





I have read till I am about to explode!

What I would like to hear is from REAL experiences with the Grizzly, Onida and Clear Vue owners. If you have another one and would like to chime in, please do. I am ready to buy, just not sure what one is the "best". It seems to me that the bottom line it how clean the output filters stay will say a lot about how good the cyclone design is. The largest machine that will be connected is the 20" Grizzly planer. Also connected will be the Grizzly 19" BS, 10" TS, Drum Sander and hose over at the lathe. I will also install a floor sweep.

I will be running new ductwork so now is the time to move from my 4" to ??

Cyclone will be mounted in the corner of a 28'X42' shop. Most of the machines will be in the front half of this space. Only scroll saws are in the rear.

I am leaning towards the 5HP Clear Vue at this time.
