I’d like to buy an American made cyclone dust collector and I’d appreciate a review of available machines or even to know the experience of other woodworkers with these equipments. I currently own a 5 hp table saw, a 3 hp band saw, a 3 hp planer and a 5 hp thicknesser besides smaller electric tools. I have 3 phase electricity supply . The available machines in Brazil are either small or badly constructed, with questionable efficiency and too noisy. I’d appreciate any help before I atempt to buy one from far away never seen any at work or heard the opinion from anyone who owns one. Thank you.

I have an Oneida Dust Gorilla and couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. Quality and ruggedness are top drawer. Dust collection is amazing! My shop is much cleaner. When I empty the drum, I check the 'fine dust' pan. I have never found anything there - it must all be trapped by the cyclone.

Thank you for your prompt help. Your statement goes the same direction of my thoughts as I searched the net and Oneida seemed to be the best choice.
I contacted them and I'm wating for their reply.
