Sawdust collection systems

Well, my choice wouldn’t be Oneida but I would jump into a larger system from the getgo. I have a CV, but that’s just my choice. As for ducting, I’m using 6” PVC all the way to the machine, but I would price both metal and PVC and then make sure whatever you pick is available locally. 6” thinwall PVC isn’t always at the box store, and with metal most use snaplock but even then the fittings (especially wyes) can be hard to come by.

You’ll have to research the cost/benefit to you of pvc vs. metal. For me its a no brainer PVC is by far cheaper. I bought my 6” pipe at a local commercial plumbing supply that allows OTC cash sales.

Looking at CFM’s planers and jointer are not hard to collect. Band saws, table saws, miter saws are hardest, but somewhat depends on machine design.

If you can put the hardest to collect machines closest to the DC that helps. Exhausting outside helps a lot if your climate allows.

I’m with Fred, seems to me Oneida is over priced. I’m planning to upgrade my cobbled together system one day, and will go with Clear Vue.

That’s a long, narrow shop, so if you can locate the DC more centrally, better.

I collect my miter saw & router table with a dedicated small wall type blower, exhausted outside. Really works well.

I bring this up, b/c for what you’re going to pay, would it be more efficient to have 2 or 3 wall units?

Thanks for those replies. My plan is to put the unit in the pole building/shop shared wall. The pole section is 40 X 72, so plenty of fresh air in there!
