Oneida Supercell review

[@vincentrolfe1384]

On that remote for the Oneida, when you sense that the remote is worn out and will not start or requires several presses of the go button; just buy the remote from Oneida; not the receiver unit as those do last longer than the remote. I had an electrician come in the shop (he had a reading disability as I found out after several failures of the install) and he miswired the remote and a shaper. That wiring on the remote caused me to think the remotes were not lasting very long; I was buying lots of remotes. Finally had Oneida tell me how the wires connect and now I have remotes around the shop saving me time. The electrician, due to his failures, would say, "you need to get the machine manufacturer out here to correct their mistake". I just started reading all the install papers and figured out the problems. I hope you can place branching of the 4" tubes and avoid those 90 degree turns. Good luck

Thanks for this video! FYI, I spoke with iVac tech support and they confirmed that you just need the Contactor that they sell, it then plugs into a 115v ivac switch, and the Supercell just plugs into your wall outlet. That enables the auto/remote on/off. I've ordered this setup along with the blast gates...looking forward to it!

[@yabogomol2285]

Hi, thanks for that info! Its been 11 months since you posted this. Do you have any updates? Were you able to install the auto on/off with the blast gates ok? How do you like it? I'll be setting up for a small carpentry business and need it to be automated because the guys won't remember or take the time to turn on the unit each time. Thank you!

[@1S4Per]

@@yabogomol2285 It's working well! The contactor install was easy (auto on/off) and works reliably. The iVac blast gates also are great. I have a very weird space that my shop is in (not one open space, but several smaller 'rooms') and I did find that putting the iVac Pro Tool Plus sensors (those that sense when a tool starts) into as much of an open space as possible helps, as does making sure they're away from other potential electrical interference. Every once in a while, I'll get a gate not in the correct state, but I think that's due to my unique shop layout and wall interference. All up - loving the setup and highly recommend!

[@mattbowers5342]

Thank you for the review, it looks like this product is true to Oneida’s reputation!

[@RobertCowanDIY]

11,000 CFM? I think you might have calculated that wrong, do you have the correct settings and the right cubic feet set? You need to set the units of the area of the tube, then measure CFM. 11K is 24 times higher than the manufacturer states.

[@thewoodmaster]

See the answer above. The 11000 converts to 959 CFM.

[@joeg7755]

@@thewoodmaster you may have an issue with your meter, that is still 2X the OEM rating (434 CFM @ 1.9" WC) and I am sure you are at least at 2"WC if not more.

[@joeg7755]

Can you check your setting, FPM, and not CFM?

[@1960fusion]

thanks for the honest "real world" review, im limited on space and this looks like the perfect solution, its as expensive as a professional/small industrial unit, but it looks like it works well...thanks again!

[@MrAce4000]

Thanks for the video but You’re saying cfm when you should be saying ft/m. That anemometer reads ft/m not cfm you must calculate the cfm

[@lighthearted2006]

Thank you Howard! I now feel confident about ordering one!

[@bigdogmn73]

Could you check your meter again and try it with the CFM setting on? I'm curious. I assume the max you will see is like 400-ish and the lowest like 100.

[@kevinwillis6707]

Hi howard thanks for the review, any idea of the noise level of the machine? regards

[@thewoodmaster]

Compared to all that I have owned it is way quieter, that being said it is powerful and your not taking a nap next to it

[@7Makowski7]

What type of piping are you using? What is the black PVC pipe? Are the y splits, angle pieces, and connectors the same PVC? What brand/where did you buy? Thanks for the review!

[@thewoodmaster]

The black pipe is abs 4" from HD, and the y splits are from Rockler. there splits fit perfectly on the inside of the ABS black pipe

[@Kunfucious577]

Lol. I’m kind of glad you didn’t turn it on at first. I got a good comparison with and without.

[@NSResponder]

I think I'd like to have a vacuum hose on a reel that would automatically turn on the impeller when I pull it out.

[@jamesryan5747]

Great review Howard. I am seriosly considering a super cell. Onieda strongly recommends against using plastic pipe. I currently have some of my plastic pipe system under a cement floor and the rest on the walls and ceiling. I noticed that you seem to have some plastic pipe under the floor and along the wall. Do you have any problems with static electricity?

[@thewoodmaster]

I have not had any problems with static electricity. If I remember when I first installed the pvc pipe I ran the ground wire along the pipe. I put screws through the pipe and ran the ground wires around the screws on the outside of the pipe. Never had any problems with static electricity.

[@mikeygee2465]

Do you have any problems with the remote not working sometimes?

[@zilitron2k]

Great video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@duncanrobinson4603]

Where did you get the spring hose clamps? They seem really good, are you happy with them? Thanks for doing the review.

[@thewoodmaster]

Here is the link for the spring clamps amzn.to/34dUKDZ

[@ProfessorClay]

Hi Mr. Boehm. Are all of those flex hoses reinforced or have you been able to get by using standard hoses? Thanks for the great review.

[@thewoodmaster]

I used the reinforced hose they sell. It is needed as the normal hose will collapse. That being said I am using a short piece of regular hose at the far end of my longest run. It is open at the cnc so it doesn't collapse

[@ProfessorClay]

@@thewoodmaster Awesome. Thank you.

[@woodbutcherjc]

What meter are you using?

[@perrycrutchfield479]

Another great effort Howard! Now I need to buy the air volume measuring device! You are good at getting me to spend $$$. :) I was wondering if it was powerful enough that I'd need to leave a blast gate open in addition to the tool I was using. I'm going to add a long hose to vacuum my shop and was deciding whether to add a blast gate for it or just leave it open. My gut says do the blast gate. Just pulled the trigger on iVac.

[@thewoodmaster]

I would use the blast gate. Gad to see you have pulled the trigger.

[@rirsz]

Hi, thanks for posting the video. I just installed my supercell and was wondering what kind of PVC pipe you are using? Thanks!

[@thewoodmaster]

This is what I used. ABS DWV Pipe Plain End 4" x 10'

[@hazembata]

Have you tried the machine with power hand tools like a track saw or router? Nice video. Thanks.

[@johnp1839]

Howard, I have a mini gorilla 220v Oneida dust collector and I am considering upgrading to this super-cell unit. What kind of electrical power did you have to run to that new super-cell dust collector? How quiet is the unit up close? Thanks for the video.

[@thewoodmaster]

It is a lot quieter that my old delta but your not going to take a nap next to it. It takes 220v which is what my old one had.

[@Dragonuv2002]

Has been a little over a year. How do you like it now?

[@thewoodmaster]

I must say in the last year I have not had to be thinking of dust collection as this has been an exceptional unit. This unit has only one drawback and for me it's the magnetic shutoff switch. I would prefer having that as an option. I have all automatic blast gates but I can't use them without a strange work around.

[@alwatts9713]

Just curious...is yours the turbo version or the regular Supercell?

[@thewoodmaster]

It was one of the original so I don't think it is a turbo

[@TheDesertRat31]

How loud is the dust collector? I realize yours is in a separate space. But mine would be in the same room.

[@thewoodmaster]

It is not that loud compared to my old one. For what it can do it is quiet enough.

[@rmefbowhunter]

How well does the Supercell work with your Unisaw? Would love to see a demo of it with your tablesaw

[@thewoodmaster]

Ill have to do a video showing each machine working.

[@Ons412]

Thank you. It was very helpful!

[@sergeygrunskiy462]

Hi Howard, great review, thank you! How long approximately is your longest run? Looks like you are getting over 550 CFM on your CNC, that's pretty impressive. What's even more impressive is the suction at your miter saw hood, that rectangle hole must be approximately 28"x2" and at 1200 LFM it gives us 1200 * (28*2/144) = 467 CFM?! Even if my approximation on the dust collecting cavity is wildly off and it's 2 times smaller, that still means you are getting 233 CFM, which is extraordinary. I'm thinking about upgrading my dust collector to the Supercell, so I'm also very interested in how it performs on your Unisaw? Better than your old one? Do you have over the blade dust collection on the saw?

[@thewoodmaster]

About 50 feet

[@vinhoi69]

how much does it cost?

[@thewoodmaster]

Its around 2400 but you would need to check with Oneidia

[@vinhoi69]

@@thewoodmaster too much for me. Thamks

[@sccolbert]

Thanks for doing this video! I'm on the fence between a V3000 and a super cell. Would love to see how well this works on your table saw when running bottom and top collection at the same time!

[@seanhenry744]

Me too. What did you end up going with?

[@sccolbert]

@@seanhenry744 i ended up with a 5hp dust gorilla pro. Didnt want to chance not having enough power.

Thanks Chris.

Former garage door tech here. Clean those tracks/hinges/rollers and add LUBRICANT not WD40.

[@thewoodmaster]

I do every 16 years, religiously

[@billwebster759]

I think you are measuring feet per minute, not cubic feet per minute.

[@thewoodmaster]

Yes in one of the earlier posts we got the formula for calculating the correct CFM for the appropriate size pipe.

[@dongchen7940]

Wow, 11000cfm out of a 465cfm machine 🤣

[@protakill]

Sweet setup.
