Gloat THE Newest Oneida DC --

[Joe Mioux]

Just got this today from the UPS guy. This is Oneida's newest version of the Dust Gorrilla. As you can see this is the Jim Becker Model 8251. This model distiguishes itself from future models in that it has a Baldor Motor.

Had it not been for Jim's earlier post regarding Oneida's new "Grizzly Fighter" I would not have been aware of this new DC. thanks Jim

so here it is

Are you sure thats a Jim Becker Model 8251 and not a cheap copy. . .
It almost looks like the Jim Becker LOGO is glued on!!

You better check authenthicity with Oneida!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I dunno....? Nice Gloat, regardless!

[Jim Becker]

I think I need to open a bottle of wine...since I agree with Ken's apprehension and it will dull the, um...effect. Unless you have a rodent problem in your shop, there is no need for my picture! ;)

(Congrats on your new cyclone!!)

[Corey Hallagan]

Congrats on the new purchase! Enjoy!

SWEET!!!! I can only hope mine is the Jim Becker Limited Edition too.

[Mark Singer]

I just called Onieda and ordered the Jim Becker upgrade....My model is about 3 years old...It was a lot of $$$$....i think it is well worth it! Without it it just sucks....thats it!:rolleyes:

[Karl Laustrup]

As my 2HP commercial is still in the boxes, I'm wondering if Onieda would take it back for the JB Limited Model? :D

Would the JB Limited be considered an upgrade? :confused: ;)

While I don't have a rodent problem, would it possibly work in keeping unwanted soliciters and general ne're do wells at bay? :D Or, does it just suck? :D

Congrats on the fine acquisition. May it suck a long, long time. :) :D

Karl, I think you need the extra large Jim Becker model for that. Comes with a poster size avatar as well as the little logo you see in the post above! :)

Sorry, but Dr. SWMBO and I are about to join the new health club right up the street, so with any luck, the "extra large version" will be discontinued...:p

This is really getting very silly, BTW... :cool:

hi joe...nice machine.......now if they'd just paint it a normal color and lose the "gorilla" logo.......

Mine is due here on May 10 according to UPS. (hoping for Baldor)

BOY, when the dust clears (pardon the pun...) I wonder how many members have pulled the trigger on these units?

Hi Mike:

The "Dust Gorilla" Logo is just a peal and stick label. That can easily be removed, the "other" logo may take a bit more persistence:) ;)

[Keith Christopher]

I am so frightfully amused.

Krylon Ivory is cheap if you want to take the time...but at least you will not lose the system in your shop very easily with the stock color!

I actually like the yellow, matches the CMS station saws, various routers and a couple of sanders and drills :D Makes it much easier to color coordinate things.

[Jim McCarty]

My thought exactly. The yellow may be just a little too loud for my tastes. I'll have to wait and see until it gets here.

I've heard of the Pied Piper getting rid of rodents. But a Pied Jim Becker :eek: !!!

Better put the cork back in that bottle of wine Jim. :D
