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?

sorry, just testing this group =)
alt.test is down ----> that way.
You can see that material is moving properly through the cyclone as opposed to being stuck at a clog someplace.
Plus it looks real cool.
It looks to me like the buyer supplies his own chip bin.
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.
Yep. Where can I buy a transparent chip bin for my Oneida DC?

I dunno... I have a metal-bodied cyclone (Oneida 1.5HP), and it seems to me that most of the noise that it produces is due to large volumes of air moving at fairly high speed. IOW, it sounds more like wind than like a machine.
In any event, I don't think the noise level from my dust collector is particularly relevant: the TS, RAS, planer, and routers, at least, make a
*lot* more noise than the DC, so I'm wearing hearing protection all the time anyway.-- Regards, Doug Miller (alphageek at milmac dot com)

I'd imagine it's also quite a bit quieter than a comparable metal unit.
