Oneida Air Systems Cyclone Attachment for Single Stage 0.5-3HP Dust Collector, 4/5 DIY - Portable Attachments and Accessories for Home and Woodworking Space Cleaning

I had the Jet which I really liked actually, despite the bad reviews. I have a Camvac 90L high pressure system and finally got the nanomax filter upgrades for the motors. Not having a three stage filter system on the machine anymore, I needed something better at stopping the fine dust from reaching the extractor itself. I didn’t want to go cheap and Oneida has a good name and are known for quality products. After putting it through its paces for a couple months and opening the Camvac, I was very pleasantly surprised at the amount of fine dust getting through. It was next to nothing. I have helical blades in the planer and jointer and I was doing a lot of dados on the router table, all of which creates fine dust. I’m extremely happy with the build quality, there’s no fear of the high pressure collapsing the unit. Beyond that, the performance is actually better than my expectations. I reworked my entire ducting system and location of the extractor and cyclone, so I’m very glad that all the work was worth it. It would’ve been a shame to do all that and get the same results as the jet. I wasn’t overly concerned with loss of suction due to it being a larger unit than the Jet, but any worry I did have wasn’t warranted. I’m sure it has more to do with the high pressure system, regular collectors I know suffer more

I wasn't confident this would actually work as I hoped, but it turned out to be a significant improvement for my ShopFox 1 HP machine. I added the Super Dust Deputy in line ahead of the suction connection of the ShopFox, and also converted the bag filter on the existing machine to a pleated filter that Grizzly offers. It's a direct replacement. My concern was that the cyclone would create more resistance in the suction, which it does, but the pleated filter more than offsets that with its significantly lower resistance than the OEM filter bag. Net result is that the system works WAY better than before, and it's no longer subject to clogs due to larger chips from the jointer and planer. The collector could not handle the planer discharge at all prior to the modifications, now it's no problem and I have far less dust and dirt in the shop. Very pleased with the outcome and performance for a just 1 HP machine. The cyclone is well worth it!

I was tired of all the fine dust throughout my shop. Even wearing a mask, it seemed that I was still inhaling dust. After much research, I purchased a dust collection vacuum system but it was not perfect. Again more & more & more ... research I realized I needed a cyclone. I could have made one or purchased a cheaper version but decided to go with a more reliable, tested system, the Oneida Air Systems. I have not regretted it. This system is going on its second year and it capture an amazing amount of sawdust. I added a second homemade cyclone and the final exhaust end is outside the building which never has any dust coming out. The Oneida Air Systems Super Dust Deputy Lightweight 4/5 does an amazing job! It is a rather large device easy to install but does require some sort of collection system and of course a vacuum. I used a plastic barrel and a makeshift wood top/shelf to support the cyclone. The barrel drops down so that it can be emptied. The duct tape was not needed, but my OCD made me secure and possible leaks. I would recommend this product and purchase again if needed.

I added this cyclone to a Delta dust collector I purchased in the early 90's. The dust collector always performed well, but the dust bag would fill with chips at the same rate as the barrel would fill. This was always annoying since I was emptying the bag every hour at times. The restricted air flow from the chip filled bag had a big impact on the draw at the machine where the chips were being collected. I did some research on cyclones and thought this looked like a simple unit to add to the dust collector. After making some adapter rings and re-configuring the piping to the dust collector, the installation was complete. Now, every chip enters the barrel and just a minimal amount of dust ends up in the bag. A simple band clamp keeps the cyclone discharge sealed to the drum lid. The entire unit is suspended from the joists above, so emptying the barrel is quick and easy. The draw at each machine is incredible since the air can exhaust freely through the unrestricted bag. It works perfect and I would highly recommend this product!

Like many other people said , it is not Cheap but worth it, works really efficient, I used it for the harbor freight dust collector with upgraded impeller , and changed it to two stage system and mounted it on the wall, the install of the cyclone itself is very easy and straightforward, in the package it come will seal tape, it kind of thick, and made a big gap on the area that no seal tape, so I had to make a plate from 1/4 plywood at the bottom I hope it come with a plate type seal. On the top I have a friend helped me printed the adapter using a 3D printer. I did a test run, there are barely any thing goes to the bucket, most of the chips goes to the drum. The stuff itself packed very well, fit the hose and other components very well, I did not use the manual. But the template for the bottom mount helped me when drilling holes on the plywood. The reason I give 4 stars is just because of the cost and the seal tape, I would rate it 5 star if it come with a rubber plate seal with pre-made hole

Performs even better than I expected. I've had other cyclones, but the decrease in CFM and amount of particulate that they let through was less than ideal. The Super Dust Deputy, however, performs excellently. The decrease in CFM was negligible, and it doesn't allow any particulate past, which leaves my filter clean (which also means a more consistent CFM/suction because the air more easily escapes through a clean filter). I cannot recommend this enough, and, In my opinion is well worth the price of admission.

Really great cyclone. Works well to separate the dust and debris. Added the cyclone to the top of a plywood container with a narrow acrylic window that shows how full the dust bin is.

There are a lot of lower priced cyclones out there and you can even make your own very efficient Thien Baffle, but at the end of the day when it comes to performance, the Oneida products are simply at the top. This cyclone has been paired as a first stage with a reinforced 20Gal Brute garbage can as a chip-catcher and a powerful 4HP 3 motor Camvac extractor. It does an amazing job of separating chips with very low loss in velocity and pressure.

Très bon produit

This cyclone separator is just what I needed. It is overpriced in my opinion, but I could not find it anywhere else. But it does work and I am very pleased.

Should have gotten this sooner did not affect the suction much. Good product
