   Sykesville,

   I thought I had replied to Al but can't find it right now.  Yes I have the Oneida portable dust collector and am using it in a fixed configuration.  I have 4" PVC running to each location.  Longest run is less than 20 feet.  I am running a cabinet saw, 8" jointer, 13" planer, and bandsaw.  It handles them with no problem even if I forget and leave unused gates open.  I was using it mobile.  The casters on it suck so I put a piece of 3/4 plywood under it and gave it some decent casters.  It moves around easily now.  I got of tired of moving that heavy 5" hose connection from machine to machine.  Now I have 4"  drops to each machine except the saw and jointer.  It is easy to swap from one to the other.  I had some reservations about the fit and finish when I first got it but it is mostly cosmetic and the machine works great.  I highly recommend it.

   Thanks, George
   I can see getting tired of moving the hose... I can't see the casters sucking at that price. I guess that's minor, but still.
   Do you get any small dust in the air or on surfaces around the canisters?

   A little bit of dust on the top of the cannisters.  Nothing significant.  I haven't worried about where it is coming from.  The casters just are not heavy enough for the load.  In the first couple of days I managed to bend the shafts on three of them.
