Shop Update: Improving Dust Collection with a SuperCell 

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

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

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

I just imagine someone at Oneida watching this and going, “Coffee grinder?, Traffic Cone?!? What is he....breathe underwater?!? It doesn’t need to...ROBOTS EYEBALL?!? Good Lord, where did they find this guy?!?” 🤣🤣🤣 Loved every minute of this video, as usual. First time commenting though. Keep up the great work! Seth

I kind of feel like I’ve been cheated on. As a “frugal by genetics” shop guy, I’m always watching how you McGyver things together in a way that I can, too...it’s kind of therapeutic, I suppose. Then, you put up a video and you’re pulling all of this NEW stuff out of unopened boxes...and it’s shiny and clean. I felt a kinship with you, but now I’m just confused...I don’t know what to feel. Just when I thought 2020 couldn’t throw anymore curves, Drew gets a sponsor, he doesn’t use a flathead screw, and he...sniff...discards all his homemade fittings. Go ahead and talk amongst yourselves...I’ll be curled up in the corner sobbing for a few minutes. I’m gonna miss the “old” Drew...

You forgot to mention this new amazing dust collections has a price tag of $2400, not including the piping. pretty big upgrade from a shop vac.

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

That's one of the weirdest looking dust collectors I've ever seen. Why doesn' t my dust collector have a little springy thing that I can flick? I'm writing a letter to complain.

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!

Drew, please stop dumping your sawdust in my backyard. Signed, your neighbor.

Great to see a shop upgrade and sponsorship! As they say, clean shop, happy wife. Wait, that doesn't sound right...

I know this is an older video -- but just curious about your take on the volume of the roll out dust bin. You went from approx 50gal to 14. Do you ever wish you had more, say the 30gal version?

That thing suure SUCKS!

You need to stop making me burst out in laughter at work

Really impressive for something that really sucks.

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.

love the humour :-)

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

Dude you've got me rollin!! Subbed up!:))

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...

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

This is all well and good but for those of us that do not have a sponsorship this thing is north of 2K....I think I'll just keep my little $50 unit and be happy.

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.

$2400 USD so I'll never get one. But was a good video none the less.

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.

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.

I hope you ordered extra bulbs for the O CRAP light, you used several o craps during the installation.always look forward to your videosa and thought chickasaures rex was awesome.

I love the humor! (dumped the dust barrel over the fence into my neighbor's yard)

Man, a Supercell is something I've wanted basically since they put them out, but man, that price tag. I'll have to stick with my upgraded Grizzly for the moment. Someday I'll be able to upgrade to something more efficient. Also, if you think it's snorting that junk fast through a 2.5" hose? Give it a shot with the 4" line before the reducer!

I'm glad you have a new "Oh Crap" warning light with your new dust collector.

I just love your sense of humor! Awesome videos and it have me enlightened and laughing too LOL

Best part of the whole video has to be the 'bendy spring thingy,' which reminds me i have to go back and watch that part again, once i have left this comment ha ha ha. Stay Safe, Barry (ENG)

I am very interested in the Supercell. Could you say a few words about the noise levels? Noise is my only concern at this point. Otherwise seems like the perfect DC for a small shop.

That is a pretty amazing setup! Could you do one more test for me and see how well it works with the Flowbee...thanks!

You got my “like” for the exercise video at the end. Nice video overall.

Now that you've been using it for awhile, do you feel like the 14 gallon capacity is sufficient? I see it doesn't cost much more for the 30 gallon, although it does make the system stand a bit taller which I guess could be a problem in some shops.

Ok, but what did they think about the chickasaurus rex? Once you introduced him (or her), it's all I could think about.

SuperCell ?, I thought that is a games company that produce Clash of Clans... just kidding... 😁

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.

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! One question. Do you find that you have to leave a blast gate open (in addition to the tool that you are using) due to the increased power of the system?

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

I love my supercell! I ended up mounting mine as high as I could and removing the wheels to save the floor space below it.

Just excellent! Great subtle humor along with useful information. Thank you for both, but mainly for the humor, it is so lacking these days. Well done sir!

I'm not sure I can stay subscribed anymore. Where was the unnecessary walnut? I thought every Fishersshop video had to have unnecessary walnut? I'm only here for the walnut.

Love the outtakes. Keeping it real. I just purchase one of these and can't wait to get it.

Step 1 should be to ditch that smaller reducing hose and make all your machines dust ports at least out to the 4" duct - ok, some of them won't be able to do that easily, but seriously, don't restrict the flow more than necessary, because more airflow means more fine dust removal

Amazing product, just wish I had Oneida as a sponsor to float the $2500 unit into my workshop

Your neighbor must loooove you. haha

Wow you use the same training method that I use 10:52

Awesome Drew, a great small shop system. Now in 5 years when it makes it to Australia I can take a look at it ;)

"Drew a level line" *leaves camera out of level to mess with everyone*

Strobe Light flashes indicating it's a good idea to subscribe... Aww crap, I'm already subscribed.

Pretty impressive system, dude! 😃 Congrats!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Ugggghhhhhhhhh. Fondue night, don't remind me. Great tutorial though, thanks for posting.

Are you still happy with the SuperCell two years later?

Looks to be a good, compact system, ideal for the smaller shop (like mine). I'm surprised you kept the 2 1/2" hose and that you are using it on so many what I would call "high volume" applications. The tools I have with 2 1/2" ports, I step up to 4" immediately. I'm using a SDD with a Delta 1 1/2 hp DC.

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.

New dust collection.. and high vis safety sandals.. you're all set DreW!! lol. Nice setup.. something like this is definitely on my wish list, but I will start with the lower end setup first

That's pretty impressive. And the blinking red light reminds me of the air cleaner my wife bought, and how that sucker boosts into turbo mode whenever I unleash a Taco Bell aftermath, dad-sized fart in the room...

Looks like a great machine. I really do believe in the value of good dust collection. Glad you were able to go with such a nice set up!

Socks are your (and our) friend :^) Thanks for the vid!! It will make me look at Oneida for sure!

Your poor Nieghbor.

Do you have to dig out the clog with a screwdriver after fondu night, too?

Your vid are not only informative and well done but hilarious. I want to be neighbors and have beers with you on the weekends lol

I just love these, "OH CRAP" videos. Little nuggets of wisdom. 👏✌️👍from 🇬🇧

What’s the noise level on that thing? I’ve seen a picture of it with the cover removed and it looks like it’s powered by 3 shop vac motors. Does it scream like 3 shop vacs or did they find a way to tone it down any?

Now we know what the neighbor kept in his shed.

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

I have been looking at the supercell or V-system for my small shop (single car). I am on the fence on which one I actually need. The supercell does small and large ports, but the v-system has twice the airflow. What made you go with the supercell and do you sometimes wish you had gone for the v-system?

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.

Great video for someone to use as a reference should they get one of these dust collectors. I've shied away from Oneida's big dust collectors after a bad experience with them a couple of years ago. Their Dust Deputy and a shop-vac are an absolute must have for any small shop. The outtakes are still worth a thumbs up on their own :)

That thing SUCKS! 😂😂. That’s pretty awesome!

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

Fon-du night? Dump in neighbor's yard? Mr. Fisher you have officially made my stomach hurt!! - Ehud Tucson AZ US

I'm telling the guy next door what you did (just kidding)

Thank you for this. This does look like the solutions I’ve been looking for. This was a great review / product feature.

Don't suck up the dog! That thing is a beast of suction power.

What kind of electrical socket/power requirement does that unit need? I have a laguna pflux 1.5 and it needed a 220v circuit (or a 30 amp 110v, so 220 was easier), but the laguna is larger than yours so I am curious what yours needed for electric.

ok, I get this thing has suction covered, but can it be used effectively on say a drum sander? Oneida claims this has an equivalent 450cfm of air movement. That is a borderline CFM for a drum sander. Would love to hear from anyone that has used a SuperCell in combination with a drum sander like the Performax 19-38.

WOW, that's an awesome system I have dust deputy set up similar to your old one.

How loud is the collector when running?

Love the videos! And this looks like a great dust collection setup for a small shop like mine.

For a minute there I thought you were going to vacuum the dog! Woof! 🐕 😆

Your poor neighbor he's gotta have the patience and tolerance of a Jedi knight in between stealing his decking for your lounge chair build to receiving your finest particles of sawdust. Oh and the dust collector looks like it does a good job. Your sense of humor always makes me chuckle and pity your neighbor both at the same time

And the word of the day is... 🥁🥁🥁 CRAP

Well after a month of waiting, mine was finally delivered. Should finish up installing tomorrow. I appreciate your video, as I referred to it a couple of times since I found their instructions not totally clear. Had the video camera been capturing every moment, the outtakes alone would have taken an hour!

well look at that. Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

You forgot to install the optional "neighbours yard extraction pipe". No emptying or bags required. Just a pipeline to the fence and a discreet hole.

If there is no speed control on the motor, reducing the air hose from 4" to 2-2.5" will burn your motor out over time....

That is quit an upgrade!!

Wow Mr. Fisher that is very nice I think I need one just like this for my shop great job Mr. Fisher please keep the videos coming I love it👍👍👍👍

Drew, with everything your do to and take from your neighbor, I am wondering if your neighbor has a RU-vid Channel? I would love to see it!

$2,600 to $3,300 is out of my price range.

Love you vids and humour. Please post more

Great video, I may look into this setup.

That's allot of horsepower for example a horse has 15 horsepower so that thing has a 3rd of the power of a whole horse

Cool video, that would be great in our shop!

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!

"Machine or free weights?" "Oh, free weights. Definitely." "How much?" "Oh, couple of 3's. Sometimes a 5, when that gets too boring. (Sniff)"

I absolutely love how when you're testing, the floor under your planer shavings is cleaner than the floor around it 😂😂😂 just goes to show, you don't know how much better it can be until it is
