Thanks in advance.


google "Pentz". Bill has done a great deal of analysis and testing.
His site
has more than you probably want to know but worth going through.

Second that one--I'd take a Clearvue built to his design over any of
the ones from Oneida, Grizzly, or Penn State and probably save money
in the process.

Thanks. So there is a difference in design as well as differences in the
materials. I'll take another look at the clearviews.

FWIW, I went to clean the filters on mine (not a Clearvue but an
earlier iteration of Bill's design) the first time I emptied the
collecting barrel and found that there wasn't anything in them to
clean.
