Hi, I have a cyclone 1.5 hp by Oneida, and the Unisaw is at the end of the run. I pick up w/ a scoop under the blade and draw out thry a hole I drilled (4″) on the left sie as you operate the saw. I covered the motor w/ a GIANT tupperware box and a basic wiid frame. Dust cooection is poor, the saw dust build up in tupperware around motor. I sealed the vents in the dor and am thinking I need to have some airflow to carry the dust instead of trying to create a vacuum inside the saw/ Any thoughts/ Thank you to all, Dave

no, I had not, thank you, I will look into upgrading my Oneida 1.5 hp. Oneida told me it cannot be done, but I will e mail this source and look into my options. Thanks
The key to dust collection is air velocity or movement, not vacuum. You need to be sure that there is as many square inches of inlet as there is of outlet. In addition, you need to be sure that the direction of the airflow is correct.
