I am outfitting a basement shop and need to do as good of a job controlling
the dust as I can. I am planning on a cyclone style collector in the 2 Hp
range. I have literature from Oneida, Grizzly and Penn State. They all seem
similar in design. Does anyone have experience with these products that they
would like to share?
Thanks in advance.

google "Pentz". Bill has done a great deal of analysis and testing.
His site
has more than you probably want to know but worth going through.

Second that one--I'd take a Clearvue built to his design over any of
the ones from Oneida, Grizzly, or Penn State and probably save money
in the process.
Just to make it easy:

FWIW, I went to clean the filters on mine (not a Clearvue but an
earlier iteration of Bill's design) the first time I emptied the
collecting barrel and found that there wasn't anything in them to
clean.
I have the Clearvue and could not be happier. It does a great job of
collecting dust and the service Ed provides if you have questions or
problems is amazing.

Thanks. So there is a difference in design as well as differences in the
materials. I'll take another look at the clearviews.

I have the Oneida Super Dust Gorilla (2 HP). Love it. I consider it the best
investment I have ever made in my shop.
I "shopped" Grizzly and Penn State as well but all things considered; price,
fittings, service, shipping, reputation, *performance numbers*,
construction, etc.,
I decided on Oneida.
