Greetings All,

I'm finally in a position with space in my shop to add dust collection. I've been eyeing the Oneida and Clearvue solutions and have been leaning more toward Clearvue. Now I'm trying to decide between the CV1800 or the EF5. The CV1800 has a 6" intake and EF5 has the option of 6" or 8". I've always read that a bigger main run is better and gives higher suction. I haven't run through any calculators but curious to know if all of you with dust collection systems can tell me how the CV1800 with a 6" intake might work in my shop given a description of the shop and tools.

My shop is about 32' x 25' with 12' ceilings. I will be connecting the following tools to the system:

1. 12" jointer
2. 20" planer
3. Router table
4. Drill press
5. Mitersaw
6. Spindle sander
7. Oscillating edge sander
8. Tablesaw
9. 19" bandsaw
10. 14" bandsaw

I'll probably have a sweeping port for the floor too. Is the Clearvue 1800 sufficient with the 6" intake for a setup like this?

cheers,
Craig
