I just saw an ad for a sale on Grizzly cyclone DCs this morning
(http://www.grizzly.com/products/G0443). Compared to the prices I have
been seeing for other cyclones, this looks like a pretty good deal.
Does anyone here have any experience with these?

I've heard bad things about Penn State.
You may also want to check out the ClearVue.

Actually, Bill doesn't sell the Clearvue. It's made and sold by Ed
Morgano, and a small royalty goes to Bill for the design.

Without actually looking at the machines; Oneida has a good reputation and
PS makes crap.
I bought the Clearvue and have been using it for almost a year. It is a
great machine. Service and installation help is unsurpassed.

I have a larger Oneida, but the Gorilla should work just fine. Top Quality
all the way with Oneida, and the design is better.

On the recommendation of a friend in the local woodworkers club, I almost
bought the Penn State unit you mention .
I had some communication problems (long story) with the people at Penn State
and decided to get the Oneida unit.
A few months after I had completed installation of mine, I had a chance to
see my friends unit. No comparison.
I believe my unit is a much better quality collector.
My 2 cents.

Grizzly also has a good cyclone unit. I've heard bad about Penn State too.
Check out Bill Pentz's website. While he is miffed at all the big
corporations who, according to him, stole his design, he is very insightful
about dust collection. His unit is called a Clearvue and while it seems a
bit primitive apparently works very well. His website is
http://www.clearvuecyclones.com/ lots of good info.

I have a Penn State 1.5 HP DC. The plastic wheels fell off of it
after a year of use. I replaced the wheels with casters as havn't had
any more issues with it.
