OK, It is finally almost at an end. My wife and I have settled on either the 2hp Super Gorilla from Oneida or the 2hp cyclone from Grizzly. Specs are virtually identical (14 inch impeller, metal gauge thickness, air movement, etc). I know the Oneida is American made but with shipping there is a palpable difference in price with the Griz being much much less (almost $900 vs about $1600). I also have a spare motor, a Leeson that I have had so I am not worried about motor burn out issues. It is going to be hooked up via 15 feet of flex ( 6" ) directly to our machines, one at a time, reduced at the machine for the appropriate ports. So, for anybody that has one or the other is the price difference truly worth it considering the one machine at a time hookup, and I don't need the ducting planning?Any opinions, etc are greatly appreciated. Also we plan on pulling the trigger by the end of this week either way. Thank you all.
