Worth thinking about in any case.Ĭan you tell me though, what made you get rid of the clearvue? Can you comment on its performance generally? A nice square bin like that would be easy enough to make. Using only a bit more floor space, you could save a lot of height and probably still easily fit one or two hundred gallons. I've seen a lot of guys though with squat little square roll-out bins. I'm still thinking a lot about the clearvue, I have to double check the measurements but I think I'm about 5" shy of being able to fit it with a 55 gallon drum. I probably have to empty it every two months or so. So if the barrel does fill up without me noticing (or, more often, the fine shavings from all the basswood I plane bottleneck and clog up the SDD rather than falling into the barrel), the shavings just start filling up the old collection bag. One of the things I like about my current set up is that the old craftex DC is still intact (I just ran a flex line up to the SDD) with it's collection bag on the bottom (with a filter on the top). I agree with you on the 55 gallon barrel - that's what I have now and it's barely enough. You upgraded again to a felder already?! Geeze John, I wish you'd checked with me first!! If you go that route stick with the newer higher HP models with full cones and good flow curves. Many have them and are happy and don't know any history or care. There was info out there at one time that indicated that they took some of Bill's advice and altered their cone design later in the 2000's to be more efficient with no compensation. The 2 filters were custom made in Hamilton for under $200.00 for the pair, the next set were made like the current Wynn and 2 of them cost $225.00 for the pair.Īs for Oneida I personally won't deal with him because of the strife they caused Bill Pentz. It was a pleasure in 2008 dealing with Ed Morgano, I don't believe Ed is connected to them anymore but they carry on with his attitude. I know you are very close to your money and that may save you some. I contact would Clearvue so you know what it costs and how much shipping is from them. Once you have had to clean the filters you will understand.įirst place I would make sure it will work in your situation. Once the bin on a cyclone is filled it dumps into your filters and plugs them. I personally got into trouble doing oversized pieces like 14" x 12' x 8/4. The indicator should be set low enough in the bin to allow you enough time to finish any started board. IMHO and also have some sort of level indicator. This is a problem for many with standard 8' ceilings. The problem with cyclones and a fulltime woodworking is that you have to have a fairly large bin if you are doing a lot of jointing and planing. Thats another story and has its own set of problems. Well Ryan I got rid of the Clearvue in 2013 and went to a Felder RL160.
