Cyclone comparison
Hello folks, Am planning on a new cyclone this spring. Trying to decide
between three 2HP versions; Oneida, Penn State, and Grizzly. Any opinions? I am not brand loyal to anything. I just use what works. I pretty much have my piping plan worked out. The main tools we use are the bandsaw, lathe, and scrollsaw. Plus sanding our projects. Leaning towards the Penn State (bigger impeller). The Oneida seems pretty expensive (I know they help you plan etc but that part is pretty well done). Griz is unknown but I have several of their items and they work well for a fair price. Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch, Guy |

After a couple of years of taking a 1 hp. collector from machine to
machine, I got a centralized system. I went for the Oneida system also. Penn St didn't have theirs out then. I believe that both offer duct design now. I would imagion that the systems will be simialar. Do get the pleated paper cartridges instead of the bags. You can vent the air back into the shop. I didn't believe Oneida when they told me that their system didn't leak any dust back into the shop, but after 1 1/2 years, they are right. If you can, an enclosed room for the collector does help cut down on the noise a bit. Also get one of the remote start systems (I think it is called the 'Lone Ranger') and one extra remote switch. One of mine went out with the shavings on the floor. Extra switches are available from Penn St. I don't own any Grizzly tools. From reading and talking to others who do, a lot of times, they do need some fine tuning to function well. I don't like to work on my machines. robo hippy wrote: Hello folks, Am planning on a new cyclone this spring. Trying to decide between three 2HP versions; Oneida, Penn State, and Grizzly.
