I have been considering the purchase of a high quality dust collection system and I am focused on a cyclone system. Oneida has released a new version known as the Dust Gorilla that I am curious about. It seems that this unit relies on lower quality components then other Oneida systems, such the lack of a Baldor motor, to keep the price point low. The CFM rating is the same as the 2 HP commercial version. The Db rating is about the same also, although I am not sure how loud 79 - 81 Db is relative to other sounds.
I currently have a portable Jet unit and it's okay, but a bit on the anemic side, so it does only the very basic in collection. I have about 500 SqFt of shop to cover and would like to hook up my TS, BS, Jointer, Planer, add a floor sweep and several 2 1/2" fittings, one over the workbench and one for the router table. I have not taken the time to calculate the CFM needed, but the 2 HP unit seems ideal - it may even be a bit more than I need since I don't have simultaneous tool operations.
Has anyone purchased one of these products and feels comfortable with a review?
