I¡¯ve had 2 Oneida smart collectors and they work well. What I hated was trying to empty the 35 gallon drums. I tried that plastic insert that¡¯s supposed to make it easier to pull out the bag, didn't work. No matter what I tried I ended up with dust everywhere when changing bags. In my new shop I bought the powermatic cyclone. It¡¯s only 3hp but it does a really good job for my AD941 and F700Z as well as the powermatic drum sander. Cleaning it is a breeze. The reason is that they put two small hoses from the suction side into the bottom of the barrel that hold the bag in place. I had a commercial vacuum system when I had a CNC machine for grinding eyeglass lenses and it used that type of a system. I¡¯m very happy with my PM2200. Bill Belanger?
