I am working on dust collection for my basement. I would like to get a cyclone, but my ceiling height is 81" to the joists and around 88" to the subfloor. I would like something in the 3hp + range. the Oneida v-system and the psi tempest are the only 2 I'm seeing that I can fit. The tempest would require me to split the filters and shorten the flex pipe between the cyclone and the dust barrel. The tempest I can pick up fairly locally to me and it comes in around $600 cheaper than the Oneida. Any others that may fit under my ceiling limitations?
I am also trying to figure out placement of my cyclone. I have attached a pic(if I did it right) of my shop layout. the only 2 places I see that would work are in the empty closet in the corner or by the stairs? Any thought on the best location in relation to duct runs? I also use my lunchbox planer on my assembly table so I would need access to a dust port near there as well.
