Dust collectors

[Bill Costanzo]

I too have been researching a new dust collection system. I currently have a
Penn State 1.5 hp DC that works pretty well. But since I have developed some
respiratory problems in my advancing years;-) I’ve decided to upgrade. The
Bill Pentz site has an enormous amount of information, and is a good first
step in your research. And he has a design for a system which ultimately is
the Clearvue cyclone. Since he's promoting the Clearvue and it's his design,
I'm slightly skeptical in believing everything he says however everyone does
seem to be raving about it. 

As part of my research I also talked to an engineer from Oneida and am
equally impressed with there systems.

He pointed me to a page on their site that compares the two and it's worth
looking at (fit and finish says a lot):

learvue%205-07.php

Another thing that I considered is that the Clearvue is a barebones kit. You
need to buy the electrical components and the filters from other suppliers
and assemble the thing, which looks like no small task. 

I plan to make a decision soon, I'll post again when I do.

Good luck

Start here to define the problem.

Then check these guys out. http://www.clearvuecyclones.com/ 
No, I don't have one yet, but the Ferrell kid installed one a 
year or so back. When he gets back in from the Outback, maybe 
he'll give us a report on his impressions so far.
