Re: Dust Collector Options - 4-5HP Range
|
I also have the Onieda Gorilla…my second Onieda. The first one was a 1.5 HP when Onieda was a pretty new company. I sold that one for what I had paid for it 20 years earlier and got the Gorilla. I use a 35 gal drum as well. I like it but the sander fills the filter with fines rather quickly. I was thinking about getting a PM1300TX for just the sander. Kind regards,Brian D. Milidrag

My Oneida Gorilla has treated me very well for 13 plus years so far! ?
Thx,
Wade ? My Grizzly Two-Stage is getting a bit long in the tooth, and needs a new filter amongst other things, doesnt do a great job at fine dust collection. I've been looking at options and came down to a few;
?
Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro 5HP w/55gal Drum
Laguna T|Fux 5
Felder RL160
?
I know its a bit apples and oranges in terms of comparison, but I'm collecting from a F700, K700S, AD941 and a Bandsaw, in terms of what sort of a user I am, I like the term Prosumer level. The main concern I see on here around the RL series is its ability to capture fine dust without clogging the filter. After selling my double drum, I do see a smaller widebelt in my horizon, but will likley be a used purchase when one comes up within a reasonable distance, but in terms of usage its not going to be production level, so I don't think it would be an issue.
?
Only limitations are is 1? 30 amp availability for power, I do have 3? available, but just on a limited power budget (switched from a "15" HP Rotary Phase to a PTE010, and a smaller 37" widebelt would already be streching its capability), so would like to keep that for tooling. And it needs to be located on the _left_ side of my garage door, so right side bin removal with chute facing the rear of the garage. All hard piped already.
?
I did get a price on an RL160, but the unit Felder has on the way is destined for Delaware, not Sacramento, so shipping to AZ is going to be prohibitive, and the next container isnt till June/July into CA. Essentially other than douubling my budget somehow and magicly getting an AL-KO, would it be worth the wait for the RL160, or something else I should be looking at?
?
