JDS Cyclones anyone?
I have a headroom problem, and JDS is about all that will fit.
Has anyone used one? They claim to have a different impeller design that gives better suction at higher static pressures; if true, that is good since I will be using it with a 4" hose. Sadly I just don't have the room for permanent installations; all my tools are mobil. The JDS salesman says that the 3hp would be overkill; for one tool I would get all the suction I could use from the 2hp. But I don't want to buy a small machine and have to upgrade latter on; that is just false economy. I have done that a few times in the past (okay, many times...) and regretted it. Plus, it seems to me that a 3hp has to perform better than a 2hp on something open like a CMS. Any thoughts on this issue? |

Harbor Freight has a 2HP DC for $134. That is plenty for several stations
in small hobbiest shop assuming you blast gate off unused stations. "Toller" wrote in message ... I have a headroom problem, and JDS is about all that will fit. Has anyone used one?

I have a Clear Vue one that I put between the joists in the basement ceiling (modified the bracket plans).. I suppose you could also use a shorter collection bin. BTW, the clear vue footprint is only about 2' X 3'. That's not too bad. If you want to avoid upgrading later on, I think you are going to have to give up on a mobile cyclone. |

It appears that the Oneida Portable is on sale now - about $275 off. Haven't
heard from anyone with one, although Oneida seems to have a good reputation with their other collectors. "Toller" wrote in message ... "bf" wrote in message oups.com...

I would probably buy one if it were $275 off, but I just went to Oneida's
website and they don't show the discount. Do you have some good information on the discount? $1500 is just too much; I can get the 3hp JDS for that. "TH" wrote in message ink.net...

Call or talk to a salesperson. I emailed a request for a quote last night
and got the reply this morning. $278 limited time winter discount. I'm pretty close to Syracuse and was thinking of picking it up - but it won't fit in the jeep. "Toller" wrote in message ...

They are in Syracuse!? I am in Rochester, so this just might work out.

I am trying to decide between the two units - Oneida and the JDS. Both of
the units are either too new or too rare to develop any likes or dislikes from users. I looked into the Small Clearvue and wasn't sold on it. I am still trying to figure out if the Oneida is actually a single stage collector with a cone shaped chute to the collection bins or a cyclone. "Toller" wrote in message ... They are in Syracuse!?

We are going though exactly the same issues. I am undecided between the
portable Oneida, the 3hp JDS and the 2hp JDS. Reading though the assembly instructions, it is a real cyclone; but it is a little tiny cyclone. As such the suction is 2/3rds that of the 2hp Gorilla and the separation probably isn't as good either. I expect the filters will clog up much faster than on a big cyclone. Oh for just a couple extra inches of ceiling height! Woodcraft in Rochester is having a 10% off sale next week. I am leaning to getting a 3hp JDS then. It is probably overkill, but that is better than regretting I didn't get a big enough unit. Where are you located? "TH" wrote in message ink.net...

Saratoga Springs.
In looking at the magazine review on the Oneida website I have never seen fan curves as flat as those from the JDS 3Hp unit. The JDS website really doesn't have any data that helps in the decision. Amazon has a couple of customer reviews of the JDS units. I still am undecided. "Toller" wrote in message ... We are going though exactly the same issues.
