Gorilla pre-gloat

[Jim McCarty]

I ordered my Dust Gorilla today. It should be in in about 2 weeks. I'm hoping I get the American made motor. It was explained that the fan wheel and motors are not interchangeable. The Chinese motor takes a metric fan wheel and the American made motor takes an sae sized fan hub. I could have gotten a 2 hp commercial with the gorilla filter for $203 more. Oneida said the Gorilla is 3-4 db louder than the commercial unit. This may not be a big deal. I'm hoping I made the right decision. Any opinions would be appreciated. I have a couple of days to change my mind. Jim

I would add the Jim Becker option....they should start including it on all the Gorilla models :rolleyes:

Congrats on the new cyclone! From what I have read, it will serve you VERY well!

Oy. You're NOT going to paint me yellow. :eek: (But I do have a lot of bananas left over from the party yesterday...)

Congratulations on your new cyclone, Jim. I personally think you made an excellent choice and frankly, wouldn't worry about which motor you get. The company that stands behind the product is more important, in my experience, and this company has done well by me on both systems I've purchased from them.

Jim,

You do such a good job promoting these and other products...you should have a model named after you! How is the finishing Forum? It never Finishes...does it?:o

"The Jim Becker Gorilla Model"
:eek:

It has more power..over 8000 posts! And it is a great finisher after it collects all the dust it sweeps your shop and gives you advice on joinery, finishes and where to buy stuff....Dan if you didn't get just come to SMC and it will be here. I had it in my shop for one day ...it watched a movie with me and roadoff into the sunset...."who was that masked man?"

Mark beat me to it, but I'll modify the option: If you choose it, you get to read every one of the next 8200+ pieces of drivel I post, even if it takes me a whole month to write them...:eek: :p :D

Looks like you have the JB opition...:rolleyes:

Groovy, but does this mean I still have to do the dishes? :D

Dan nope, you don't have to. They become disposable. Just drop them on the floor and sweep the peices into the floor sweep. The Gorilla will gobble them right up :)
