I've got the 1.5 hp Oneida up and running in my shop, with total runs to 30' (6" metal
pipe throughout, bushing to 4" @ flex lines...) - it does a great job on the Felder saw
with simultaneous collection through the overarm blade guard, but is strictly a
one-machine-at-a-time-please deal. This little guy is built great, hangs from the
rafters in a corner of the shop, taking up a 2'x2' (!) area, easy to clean the filter
(I use it also with a small widebelt sander, so the sander dust clogs the filter more
than saw dust or shavings - filter gets cleaned every time I empty the 30-gallon drum.
WAY nicer than the 2- and 3-hp taiwanese collectors that I've been using earlier in
this incarnation! Oneida is also great to deal with, Felder-level customer support,
free engineering and layout, and pipe at real-world prices-think they offer a trial
period, too, but for a one-man show, it's the perfect system!

Everyone is contributing good material...my 2 cents is to consider 3HP and
above dust collectors. Mine is 3HP and after accounting for all the losses,
I expect to be marginal in terms of air flow.
Congrats on the purchase...a happy wife in the home and a Felder in the
shop: life doesn't get any better!
Take Care,
Charlie Norton

Subject: [felder-woodworking] I'm engaged...
as of today, I'm engaged to a new CF-731 Pro. If you haven't seen
what this package includes, you really should. It should be no more
than 3 months until I get to consumate the wedding. Of course, my
wife is rolling her head at the dowry.
I had been looking at a number of options, narrowing it down to the
Robland and Felder machines. Once deciding on the Felder, I was then
comparing the BF6-31 and the BF7-41, taking into account all the
factor - including space. And along came the CF-731 Pro - a sweet
setup I expect to be happy with for a long time.
Now a question for you all. Up to this point my dust collection
system has consisted of a shop-vac, moving the hose from one tool to
another. I would like to get an adequate DC setup for my soon to be
finished shop, and I seek your more experienced opinions.
In addition, I would like to investigate some type of sound
insulation for my workshop. My workshop is in my basement (under the
family room), and I would like to at least consider some type of
sound insulation. I realize this topic is not Felder specific - is
there some other place I could find a FAQ that might discuss this?
Thanks... Steve Kusterer, Leesburg, VA, USA
