Bill,

I just set mine up last night. Simple to set up for sure. Why not have I purchased the very highly regarded Clear-Vue? Just because of the space limitations and needed mobility in my gargae/shop. It will be used for my jointer, planer and band-saw and those are all on mobile bases and can and will end up being moved around depending on what on I doing.
I can also, on most days, place the Onedia outside the garage when running. It looks solid, well made, but I can see one feature lacking already - a handle to use when moving this PORTABLE cyclone around the shop. Instead, you just pull/push it from around the fan housing.

These are muy very first impressions - more info as it get used.

Careful Bob! The subject of Oneida, Clearvue, and dust collection. Is a touchy subject around here. Like walking through a Minefield.

Russ,

From Bill Pentz and others, I would surmise the ClearVue the better machine, BUT for my particular case, where no machine will be used in the same spot, the mobility feature was paramount in my decision.

[Russ Massery]

Bob, I'd like to hear comment's after you have used it awhile myself. I very different from anything out there. And man Tyler your really slippin' there's at least 3-4 Gloats with no pics.

Tyler must be off track due to his new playshop, er, residence

[Russ Massery]

Maybe he should appoint a Deputy.

Is that the one with a double cyclone on a stand? It looks nice, but really pricey for a home shop user, at least in my case. I wonder why they don't offer a portable with a single cyclone unit.

Terry,

Good question, maybe they will offer such a unit. Here's a question - is it just a coincidance that my garage door opener no longer works since I tried the remote for this unit?

I just ordered a Dust Deputy a few days ago. Should be here Tuesday. I haven't been this psyched about cleaning up ever.

Hi Bob,

Please keep us posted with how this system works. I am in the same situation with zero room for a cyclone unit. The portable looks good, but I would like to have some real world feedback on performance. It is pricey, but the portability factor is key for me in my shop. BTW, you mentioned that it is a push/pull system for moving it around. I thought that there were handles on the side to facilitate this. Also, how was it shipped? Were you able to off-load it by yourself?

Thanks in advance for the information.

Scot
