Shop Update: Improving Dust Collection with a SuperCell

[@anonymoose6873]

I was skeptical about the overall quality, then I saw the spring. Shut up and take my money!

[@Blfisher82]

🤣

[@naioti]

I’m curious what kind of warranty they have on that spring... I’ve seen other dust collectors you only get 20-30k flicks before they wear out

[@joshuahasson9687]

But what solution did the Oneida engineers have for the Chickasaures Rex?!?

[@bocfus72]

Well at least you're helping your neighbor get a jump start on composting!!!😂🤣

[@FishersShop]

Yup! See? I’m a great neighbor!

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

I'm not in the market for a dust collector but thoroughly enjoyed this video while doing a little unofficial evaluation/opinion gathering for friend who has issues like you experienced before the upgrade. Thanks for taking the time to share your upgrade with the world and making it both informative and entertaining with clever/witty/humorous commentary... nicely done! Best, Matt

[@FishersShop]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AKthehardway907]

Anyone complaining about price obviously hasn't met that 30 year career woodworker carrying around his own oxygen yet. To note, once you get your "affordable" dust collection set up you should look into air cleaning systems. They're easy enough to build and takes care of the real hazard particulate that shop vacs and collectors cant contain

[@BruceAUlrich]

I really like how it has that mounting bracket and you could do it all yourself. That’s going to serve you well over the years!

Yes and there are at least 3 that reside in that cost neighborhood that have their own virtues.

[@kevinaud6461]

You are right but in my opinion a really solid dust collection system is one of the biggest quality of life improvements you can make for your woodworking. It is the most-used piece of equipment in your shop by a long shot. Everyone has different budgets of course but if you do have a decent budget and you are trying to decide where to allocate it then I would put this pretty high on the list.

[@espressomatic]

And you missed the sponsor of the video, so this system didn't cost him a penny. :) When something's free, or you're getting paid on top for making a video about it, doesn't matter if it costs $1 or $1000000 I suppose.

[@stevenferro]

That's a horrible price.

[@danmoyer8191]

I bought one about three months ago. It replaced a Grizzly 2HP with a home made cyclone that I had for 25 years. I understand the points about expense. Here's my thoughts. First, it's made in America by American workers. That is important to me. Second, I have a small shop and this has a smaller foot print than my old DC and most competitive DC. How much space it takes is important to me. I'm a single operator, using one machine at a time. I don't need high volume like a multi person shop. I want high velocity- which this unit provides much. I have *much* less dust now from jointer, table saw top, router table top, backed end of planer. I'm very satisfied with it's dust collection capability. Less fine dust floats in the air- stuff doesn't get covered in dust now- and that means I'm breathing less dust. Expensive DC? Yes, but so is medical problems and allergies. Like the video, I connected a 20 foot 2 1/2 hose to the 4" hose which came with it. With standard shop vac accessories, this becomes a super shop vac for the shop and running the hose out to driveway to vacuum the car. I had the Grizzly for 26 years. Being 65, I expect to have this until I no longer do woodworking. Until then, I have a great DC system.

Oneida makes great equipment. I installed one of their bigger systems in an industrial carpenter's shop for work. Including a 3 cubic yard collection bin, with rotating dump for a forklift. Handled both wood and composites with no problems running 6 hours a day. I didn't know they made smaller stuff for home use too. Looks good.

[@BrickhouseCraftWorks]

[@johncbrownmd]

So I just put together my supercell and I saw your video, thank you very much. Now I like the fact that you are using the reducer to look up your machines so you don’t have to lug around the awkward reinforced dust hose. Is there enough suction to handle your machines, planer tablesaw etc., or would I I have to alternate between the 2 1/2 inch collection and the 4 inch collection.

[@FishersShop]

The smaller hose is more than enough. In fact I had to put on another Y-adapter and blast gate connected to nothing so that I could open it slightly to throttle down the power.

[@johncbrownmd]

@@FishersShop good to know. If the reducer is too much for my planer I will let you know. I hung the 4” hose on my fence outside.

[@jtdyalEngineer]

That system looks perfect. The pressure equalizer for the bag and the whammy bar and the built-in remote.

[@williamparker6649]

I received my supercell and I am very happy. I setup my system with the 14 gallon bin, but I mounted it up 4 feet setting up system on my bench and then lifting it up to the hangers for the bracket. I then installed the bin but later removed the wheels on the bin. It is easy to remove clean and replace the bin plus the system is up and away giving me more room. When I need to service the filter I will loosen the bracket bolts and with help move the supercell to my bench. Love the supercell!

This looks like a great upgrade. I really need something better, but need it to be more mobile for now. I’m thinking of trying a dust deputy like your old one on top or a sortimo box mounted to the top of my Bosch vacuum.

[@joedance14]

That new supercell is interesting. The video was worth watching just for the last scene!

[@jmoss1980]

Now you ought to build a hose reel for your hose. That would be a good project video that I would love to watch

[@ronquay5836]

I've had the Supercell for about a year now and I love it but there are a few things I'd like to see changed. 1) there needs to be a way to hold the drum down when your pulsing the system to clean the filter. There is so much suction it lifts the drum off the floor and slams it down. 2) The remote is terrible. I'm on my 2nd one and have to be within about 5ft for it to work. 3) The vac overheats and shuts down. I spoke with service and had to adjust the switch to remedy. It helped but still shuts down on occasion. 4) Oneida needs to have a longer 5 inch heavy duty hose available for between the vac and the collection drum. I mounted my Supercell above a bench with the drum under the bench and the hose they send was too short for what I was trying to do. I could not find a hose heavy duty enough to handle the negative pressure. It would just collapse them. Oneida does not sell a longer one in the 5 inch. 5) lastly... They need to put something in their literature about using smaller hoses. Yes... You can use a smaller hose to a domino or orbital sander but you need to have a Y somewhere that you can also leave open or it puts too much back pressure on the vac. I have a 4 inch to 2 inch Y so that I can leave one side of the Y open and I am never reducing below 3 total inches. Again.... I love the vac and it is a great solution. Fixing some of these issues would make it an unbeatable system.

[@FishersShop]

1) Sounds like you mounted it too high on the wall? 2) Hmm, still on my first and never had an issue. I did notice that if it's sitting on something conductive that it won't work. I have to pick it up to use it. 3) Never once had this issue and I've run mine for hours at a time during long milling sessions 4) I agree. I needed to get something much longer 5) Yup, you're right. I had to do just that because when I hooked it direction up to my smaller tools, it sounded like it was going to take off like a rocket

That's a nice DC system!. I installed Oneida's 5HP Gorilla Pro in my shop earlier this year and now it's virtually dust free. It even collects every spec from my miter saw. And yes, the folks at Oneida are super helpful. They are a small, American business located in Syracuse. I highly recommend them and their dust collectors.

[@rrmerlin3402]

Good job on the miter saw dust collection, I'm struggling in that department. Could you describe your set up ? Thanks

[@buddythompson5284]

@@rrmerlin3402 Hi. Sorry for the delayed response. I wanted to get some pictures of my set up but now I can't figure out how to share them here. Basically, I have a 5HP Gorilla Pro dust collector with 7" main trunk that reduces to a 4" duct with blast gate directly above my miter saw. From the blast gate I use Rockler 4" FlexForm hose (www.rockler.com/4-flexform-dust-collection-hose) down to the miter saw. I form the FlexForm hose so that the opening sits just behind the fence, as close to the cut line as it can go without interfering with the blade or slide motion. Combined with that, I have a separate dust extractor connected to the dust port of my miter saw (Kapex). Together, the dust collector and dust extractor collect everything that comes off the saw. Quite often, even the cut off pieces get sucked up into the dust collector. Originally I planned to build some sort of enclosure behind the saw to help contain the sawdust, but with this set up, especially the 5HP dust collector, I don't need the enclosure.

Yeah, I was thinking "If I had $2500 lying around, I'd probably spend it on something that makes dust, not collects it."

Money vs lungs. Some time you might regret the decision. But if you can keep air flowing through your workshop to clear out the fine suspended dust, that's better than a great dust extractor recirculating the finest dust

Great video. Ive had mine since the beginning of the year. Love it. Only issue I have is the remote. Turns on ok but sometimes it wont turn off. Oneida sent a new remote and an electrical filter thingy. It’s better but still hit and miss. Any one else have this problem or is something in my shop causing interference ? One of the main reasons I bought this is because you don’t have to worry about letting it run for 10 minutes like you do with the other 5HP units. I turn it on, make a cut and turn it off. Oneida assured me this would not damage the motors.

Only times it doesn’t turn on or off is if the remote is sitting on a conductive surface. Once I pick it up off the surface and try again, it always works.

@@davidkendrick3158 I'm envious of all of you. The only place I have to do any of this woodworking stuff is in a little shed that is half full of bins from when we moved on one side, and after the few hours on the rare warm winter day, we uncovered the left side of the shed to discover the floor was sloped and needs to be torn out and replaced. Darned groundhog. What to do? I can't trap and relocate it because it is illegal, I can't shoot it because I live in a residential neighborhood, and I can't poison it because with an animal that large it would have enough poison to injure or kill any animal that scavenged the corpse (including pets). So spending $2,400 on a vacuum (although a real kick-butt vacuum) is nice, for the time being I'll have to stick with my shop vac. (sad face). And what is with the random flathead screw?

It really sucks. You probably need to get dust right expandable hose. It will make hose management a lot easier and cleaner. Also maybe better to change some bigger tools to 4in port so you are not restricting the 5HP you have.

[@Claymore1977]

Getting rid of that corrugated hose and running mostly smooth pipe would greatly help that system. Also, is that thing supposed to be reduced to a single 2" hose like that. I'm pretty sure it's not. If it's not, you're gonna put a lot of strain and extra heat on that motor.

Great job. I bought one and am ready to install. It's nice to know that it can be done with one person due to the bracket. Very good presentation on the video btw! Yeah It's expensive but worth it!

14gal is perfect for my shop. Sure, it would be nice to only have to empty it half as much, but if I went with the 30, the bags would be huge cumbersome for me to haul out into my woods. I prefer more frequent but easy trips with a smaller bag.

@@berneysgospelmusicchannel3241 I'm still using and reusing the originals. Since I live on a wooded lot, I just empty the bags out in the woods and then reuse the bag.

Hmmm...at a $2,400 base price, I'm thinking my shop vac with the cobbled together dust separator will have to do for a while...maybe a long while...

Those sandals though. . . 👍👍👍 7:28

They're steel-toed

[@BeezKneezCarpentry]

Very nice. Gonna have to get me a pair for offshore!

[@enzprintco.8625]

Good god! $2,395? What did you get with that and what parts did you spend extra on? I assume it comes with a filter...but these days you never know. Definitely looks like a good system though. Hey Santa...

[@FishersShop]

The only thing extra I got was the "Clean Shop Kit" which included the gray hose and some vacuuming attachments. Everything else came with the unit.

[@laurawerner]

Very nice! I'm wondering how long it will be before you replace some.of those 2.5" hoses with 4" ones, at least for tools like your jointer that have a 4" dust port. I found that made a pretty big difference on my jointer. But with the big motor on your new dust collector, maybe it won't matter. My system has an ancient 2.5 hp blower I got off Craigslist.

[@FishersShop]

I don't think I can run 4" to the tools because the hose isn't flexible enough and the suction is so great that I can't use a more pliable hose or else it'll collapse due to the pressure. Overhead ducting is out because I have a shop gantry that restricts where I could run the pipe. My previous hose kept up with my jointer just fine so I think the new one will be sufficient.

[@laurawerner]

@@FishersShop Nice! I'm pleasantly surprised that your old system kept up with the jointer. Is your shop gantry an overhead crane, or a camera mount? I'd _love_ to have a crane for moving heavy equipment.

[@FishersShop]

@@laurawerner It's for lighting and camera use. I made a video on it if you wanted to see it in action.

You’ve had this system for a while. How is it working for you? I run a one man, full time furniture shop. I purchase all my rough kiln dried lumber directly from a saw. Recently working on a black walnut table using 50 bf and a desk using 30 bf of hard maple. How does the drum handle this type of load? Have you had any issues with the filter clogging on you? How does it work with smaller tools such as random orbital sanders and routers? Thank you in advance

[@FishersShop]

Yes, it works phenomenally. If you're a full-time shop, I'd recommend getting the larger drum size though otherwise you'll be emptying it more often than you want to. I've never had to get a new filter either. I just keep using the reverse suction lever every so often and it cleans itself. The static pressure is so high on this unit that it works amazingly well no matter what you hook it up to. As an example, the static pressure of the big Laguna P-Flux is like 7. This Supercell is over 90! Basically, that means even if you choke it down, to hook it on smaller tools, it doesn't lose suction. In fact, I've had to install a Y-fitting in my 4" hose with a blast gate to nothing so that I can open it halfway to throttle back the suction when putting it on smaller tools (belt sander, strip sander, etc.) because the suction is so strong.

@@FishersShop I appreciate the feedback. How do you deal with the 80db in a small shop?

[@FishersShop]

It's not that bad, actually. I usually have ear protection on anyway, but even when I don't, it's still tolerable.

[@BayneCustomWoodworking]

Mission accomplished. :)

[@goali3903]

Great video Drew, but I was hoping to see a dust collector that installed itself! Haha

[@FishersShop]

Never again. 😂

[@markbryan9989]

Advantage: It works really well. Disadvantage: I would need to take out a mortgage to buy it. My $25 Home Depot Dust Separator connected to the shop vac works just fine, thank you.

[@shopcatt643]

Great video, I may look into this setup.

[@hypnolobster]

This seems like a really spectacular upgrade for me but uh.. I really don't want to redo the absolutely enormous amount of 6" round HVAC ducting I'm using as hard lines in the shop. This would definitely turn them into.. 6" flat HVAC ducting.

[@SamWanamaker1]

How loud is the collector when running?

[@FishersShop]

What? Couldn't hear you... can you say that again?
