I don't get it... they've made everything transparent *except* the
part that
really *needs* to be transparent: the chip bin.

What's the point?


You can see that material is moving properly through the cyclone as
opposed to being stuck at a clog someplace.

Yeah, well, I don't need a transparent cyclone to tell me that material is, or
isn't, moving. I'm too busy watching the tool I'm working at to pay attention
to what the dust collector looks like. If it's full, or clogged, I figure it
out pretty quickly, when the sawdust starts pouring out of the bandsaw, or the
chips begin to fly out the front of the planer.

Plus it looks real cool.

It looks to me like the buyer supplies his own chip bin.

Yep. Where can I buy a transparent chip bin for my Oneida DC?
