Thanks Ken, pleased you liked it

Peter, my first dust extractor was the CT Festool for a small portable saw. Next, about 10 years ago I went looking for larger woodworking machines in Atlanta GA and came across Felder and Martin. To extract the dust I chose Oneida Air Systems and put the 7.5hp-3400 cfm cyclone outside the shop and later made a 10" duct return air box to bring the air back into the shop for Chicago winters. I have looked at bag collection for the next phase of more machines but I still return to the cyclone. Overall a smaller cyclone or a larger unit is less maintenance and with a gage for vacuum I can see my 55 gal drum is getting full. What has been your experience viewing larger shops with bag vs. cyclone dust systems? Like to know your opinion. Be safe in these time of the virus.

All of the workshops I have worked in have old large bag systems, cyclone systems are not so popular in large workshops over here but not sure why.

@@WoodWorkersWorkshopLimited Thanks and good day. The bag systems made in the US are of Euro import or designed stateside in the last 15-20 years that I see. With the addition of the shaker accessory in bag systems there is frequent periodic attention to saturation in the bags. The cyclone dust systems are lower manual labor to operate and allows hoppers on tracks to be employed leading to the truck load take away. The cyclone systems use a larger electric motor than comparable CFM bag systems (-25-30% less electricity). In the 8-9 years since I installed the Oneida cyclone I have had to clean-vacuum the twin 60" tall filters at the plenum three times. Each time it was my failure to keep watch on the vacuum gage and consequently I had to vac out the filters and empty the catch buckets at the bottom of each filter. On a heavy planing day for 8-9 hours I can fill up 3-55 gallon drums using 55 gal plastic bag liners. Neighbors want the dust for their gardens. Farmers will not take the walnut dust cause their animals can be injured. As I look back over the woodworking videos accumulated, I see no vids of me cleaning the cyclone. I will have to include the process next time I fail to keep an eye open on the cyclone. I think the bag system is good for shops that put dust collection inside the shop. Now Oneida is making interior smaller cyclone systems and we will see how that evolves in the next years. Seems like cyclones are going to rule the market. The US is very misled with our President Trump and hence lots of lives lost forever. Hope you and yours are safe.

@@vincentrolfe1384 I agree cyclones are the future, hope life in the US settles down life here is good just trying to keep safe, hope you do too.

Why aren't you using a cyclone dust and chip management system?

My dust extraction system is to open the garage door set my shop vacuum to blower mode and move from the back of the garage to the open door . 🤪
