Default Using a canister vac instead of a shopvac?

Re. the Oneida vs. Clearvue mini cyclones, have you taken a close look
at either one? Do you think they're much different?


The Clearvue uses 2.5" ports in and out. The Oneida has a 1.5" intake
port and a 2" output port. If you've already got a shopvac that uses
2.5" hoses (Ridgid, Craftsman, Shop-vac, etc.), then the Clearvue is
more convenient as you can use all your accessories.

The Oneida looks more "professional", and the DIY version of the Oneida
is actually cheaper than the Clearvue.

I have no idea how they compare with respect to separation performance.
