upgrading an old cyclone?
Another dust collection question. I have an old original oneida cyclone dust collector with an internal filter, 1.5 hp, and a 12.5" impeller. I just changed the layout of my shop and added another leg to my dust collection line which is going to increase my static pressure to a point where i feel my collector will be much too under powered... I am thinking about changing to a wynn external filter and upgrading the motor to a 3hp leeson, and i think i have the room to increase the size of the impeller. However dust separation is not great regardless... Alternatively there is a donald torit 20 for sale super cheap that would also need some upgrades including changing thw motor where i could go to a 5hp leeson and wynn filters for about $800 total but it is too tall for my shop and i would have to build a shed next to my shop to house it and pipe my filter in into the shop to keep my warm air in the winter... Or should i just wait and save for a clearvue?Attachment 387873Attachment 387874Attachment 387875
