"Justin - Yup. Haven't ruled them out. I have Oneida's Dust Deputy atop a 20 gallon salvage drum. Vacuum is via a HF 660 CFM DC. The bag sometimes will clog with very fine dust, but the cyclone separates most. …"

"Check out Oneida on the Cyclones, the one I have is beyond awesome. I did a lot of homework before making that purchase with Static Pressure etc., looked at Laguna, Clearvue etc. Just my 2 cents."

"The PowerMatic & Jet planers in those sizes are a bit out of my price range. I went with the DeWalt 735, then installed the Byrd Shellix head. The Shellix head has probably already paid for itself and was not that difficult to…"

Hello all,I am upgrading my thickness planer. This is a process I have been through before. I want to make this the last time though.

A little background on myself is that although I am still very much a beginner at Woodworking I have kind of dived in head first and take my Woodworking very seriously. I am…See More
