Mike,
that appears to be a 4" cyclone? If so, where did you get it? and was it stupid money like the cyclone central?
ta.
Hi Bob,
It's an
Oneida Super Dust Deputy 5-inch steel cyclone. I was back in the States on vacation when I bought it from a Woodcraft store in Virginia. It was the only large cyclone the store had in stock and the cardboard box was severely damaged (the cyclone was undamaged). The store manager gave me a substantial discount because of the damaged box, so I bought it for $169 and reboxed it so I could mail it to me in Germany. I didn't really want the steel version, but the larger 6-inch plastic version exceeded the U.S. Post Office size limits for mailing and no one except Oneida had them in stock.
I have since bought the
Oneida Super Dust Deputy XL 6-inch cyclone from Toolovation, a UK vendor, since there were no German vendors stocking it or willing to order it with less than a 12-week delivery time. Martin, at Toolovation, was very accommodating and I had the SDD XL five days after I placed the order.
When I have time, I'm replacing the 5-inch steel version, and all of the 120mm steel ducting and blast gates. I'll install the 6-inch XL and will use 150mm S&D pipe from my local hardware store. I already have five blast gates that will fit the 150mm S&D pipe.
Here are a few photos of the 120mm ducting, fittings, and blast gates that will be excess as soon as I start the renovation. These pictures were taken while I was building my shop and assembling the equipment. The Minimax SC2 Classic is still in pieces in one of the pictures. The reducers on the blast gates accommodate 100mm flexible ducting that connects to the equipment. The 100mm hose couplings and clamps are shown on each blast gate door.
