Steve: I have an Oneida 1.5 HP cyclone with the 30 gauge piping.and haven't
had any problems. Oneida I believe provides design help . They and other
sources on the Internet sell fitting etc. Some of the elbows you get out of
home improvement stores are difficult to work with. Young Eric's dad gave
me good advice to assemble your long runs on the floor . Also the choice of
rivets Vs screws and caulk Vs. tape seem to be a wash so it's what ever
makes you happy. Sid

Subject: [felder-woodworking] Dust collector piping question
At this point, I think I've settled on the Oneida 1.5 HP cyclone. I
really
don't want everything the dust collector collects to go through the
impeller.
In planning on running the piping for this DC, I have a couple of
questions.
1. is it better to run the piping along the ceiling, and then branch out
to
the sides, drops, etc. as necessary, or is it better to run along the
walls
- or does it really not make much difference and I should just use
whichever approach looks most convenient with the layout of the various
tools?
2. with the 1.5 HP Oneida, is it really necessary to go with the more
expensive, heavier guage piping instead of 30 guage stuff. I know the 30
guage can cause problem by collapsing, but is that at all a realistic risk
with the 1.5 HP Oneida (as opposed to some monster DC). I'm willing to
use
the heavier stuff if there is a real concern - but I'm wondering how much
of the reading I've been doing about the necessity of heavier guage piping
is actually based on much larger dust collectors.
Thanks... Steve
