I'm looking at buying a cyclone system and I need some advice. This is for my residential basement workshop. (Table saw with overhead dust collection; 14" band saw; jointer; planer; router). Shop size is 20 x 35. I'm not looking to run machines simulaneously.
I've really enjoyed the work of Bill Pentz and the ideas and research behind the Clear Vue product. I'm also a tad annoyed that Oneida has shut down their mini cyclone product for the time being. So I'm probably biased towards the Clear Vue. I've heard nothing but great reviews on their service. That said, I have question marks about the mdf and plastic construction of the Clear Vue. Also, it looks like there is a heck of alot more work for installation with the Clear Vue. Also I notice that Oneida has a hepa filter deal (down to 0.2 microns 99.9%!!) currently.
The Oneida V-3000 is supposedly alot quieter than the Clear Vue. The Oneida V-3000 is a 3hp unit vs the 5 hp Clear Vue. I guess that is both good and bad (Clear Vue is more powerful and more expensive to run and louder).
What about you folks? Does anyone have experience with the Oneida? Any advice would be helpful!
thanks
Glen
