He Replaced His Low-Pressure Collector | Oneida Air Systems, Inc. 

I have been thinking about Oneida air systems for a few months now. Definitely going to have one of these in my future.

That's pretty impressive!

It uses 3 vacuum motors, same as shop vac universal motors. It doesn't use a high cfm blower. So how am I wrong?

Why did you not point the suction or inlet in a straight line with the ductwork. Instead you have the flex hose with a 90 degree bend

I have the non turbo Supercell version and have had it for since 2020. I am so happy with it and wouldn’t have changed it out for anything. 9 tools hooked up to it with 9 blast gates. It’s amazing. However I cannot test air velocity on anything greater than a 3” diameter. My anemometer maxes at 30 m/s (5905 fpm) and I get an OL error. It’s a good problem but it limits me from knowing actual CFM at each machine. I noticed you were using the Protmex PT6252A that has a max air velocity spec of 40 m/s (7874 fpm). How did you get reading of over 10,000 fpm? Is there a range it can go over it max limit or did you have to use something else for the actual reading? Thanks for the help.

Do you also do residential central vac systems?

I’ve had my Supecell for a couple years now. Works great!

I consider this a very deceptive test for several reasons. You would get the same exact results if you replaced your dust collector with 2 or 3 shop vacs. This shop needs shop vacs for their sanders, not a dust collector.

Is there a dial to turn down the suction? Bigger isn't always better. If you have too much suction for a sander, then the sander will "bite" into the wood due to suction and leave a mark.

All in all, the results are clearly much different with the swap out. Now for me, I was cringing when I saw the "T" connectors instead of Wye connectors. However, even if the T's were swapped for Wye connectors I do not think the old Dust collector would see an improvement enough to make up for the difference in the numbers. By the way, the non-turbo version of the Supercell is $2700 and the Turbo model presented in this video is a whopping $3400. So comparing the old system, which looks like a harbour freight model coming in a $249 normally, is not really a fair comparison between the two devices. It is a given that if you spend $3400 you get much much more than your money. I do like that it one unit and no need for a separate dust deputy or filter to take off and clean.

It is quite funny that the presenter has dust on his dark colored shirt and hair! It is a real video so, understandable, but would look better if the presenters don't have any dust on them. Just sayin'
