Because the person (Ed Morgano) making the ClearVueCyclones lived
close to my parents in SC which I was visiting from Chicago over
TGiving I decided to pay him a visit. Ed is a really nice guy and
cares alot about the precision and quality of what he is making. I
got to see his clear cyclone in action. He had it connected to a 0.5
micron cartridge filter. When I put my nose up to the cartridge
filter I could not even smell wood dust.

I have one Bill made himself. it works very well even with my poor pipe layout (
I changed from a really close to the machine dc to the cyclone a ways away) and
I could not afford to redu all of the lines. the hardest part is fixing the
machines so you get good pickup. most of my tools needed two hoses to really
good pickup.
but you can smell the sawdust by mine (G) padouk and bloodwood make the air
smell like they do no matter what. my clear hoses are all stained from them.
