- In this video, I review the Oneida V3000 dust collector, and tell you about my dust collection journey. From a simple shop vac to a large cyclone collector, I answer your questions about dust collection, tell you what you need to think about when choosing a dust collector, tell you why I went with this Oneida V 3000, and tell you what I think about it after one year of use.
This is not a paid sponsorship - the dust collector and pipes were all purchased by me!

Interesting perspective of dust collection causing/correlated serious conditions. I also worked in hospitals before stepping away. I’ve never seen the actual studies however from what I’m told woodworkers make up the vast majority of nasal cancer. My dust collection of choice is the camvac system, it’s insane to have about 1000 cfm with 70” of static pressure. For me it’s a no brainer
Yep, the better and more efficient your dust collection, the less particulate dust in the air, and the lower your health risks. That sounds like a great system you have!
Great video. I went with the Oneida Supercell a couple of years ago and bought their spiral ducting. My son-in-law helped me with the ductwork installation. I went through the same exercise with Oneida about whether to go with the V system or Supercell. I'm a hobbyist, so there's never anyone but me operating the tools. All of my stationary tools have 4 or 5 inch ports. I have a bench top spindle sander and a bench top belt/disk sander, both with 2.5 inch ports. The Supercell handles all of them. The V system style collectors don't work well with less than 4 inch ports. I don't have a drum sander or any tools that require two 4 inch ports, that's why Oneida recommended the Supercell. For anyone looking at the Supercell, a couple of things to note. First, you can't use standard flexible plastic ducting with the Supercell, you have to use the more expensive vacuum rated flexible hose for the final run to the tool. Working with the vacuum rate hose is a little like wrestling an anaconda, a bit of a challenge but not insurmountable. Second, Oneida includes 25 feet of the vacuum hose (well they did when i bought mine), and this may be enough for many folks. However, in my shop i needed more like 35 feet but Oneida only sells it in 25 foot increments. This hose isn't cheap, but I have some extra in case I buy a new tool. The other negative with the Supercell is the noise level. I'm over 85 ish dB at my table saw, which is considerably louder than you report with your V system. I'm not getting complaints from my wife inside the house, even though my Supercell is mounted on a wall shared with the interior of the house. My thought is if you have more than one person working in the shop and/or you have multiple 4/5 inch ports going at the same time, go with the V system. Otherwise, the Supercell makes a lot of sense. Price of the two collectors is comparable. Good luck with your shop and your channel.
DITTO ON ONEIDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. Bought a discontinued Oneida floor demo from Canada's Busy Bee company (strange name for a company selling big industrial shop tools). I did not get the manual in the deal and could not find it on Oneida's website's manual library. So I called them up an in minutes I was being emailed the correct manual for my system.
And I'm a smaller fish than Garage Dwellers as my shop is currently in front of my garage under a 10' x 10' pop-up canopy. Since this is Canada I'll have to close up shop soon.
Good tool but out of my range budget and shop size wise. I have a discontinued (2019) Dust Deputy Deluxe 4/6" with a 15 gallon fiber collection drum. As it appeared you were heading size wise toward my newly acquired separator I was looking forward to your putting it in action and setting it up. Your design and layout considerations are helpful in the general sense and already has firmed up some of my planned setup when I get my garage set up so I too can achieve Garage Dweller status. 😀👨🔧
My brother has the new super dust deputy hooked up to a drum and a Harbor Freight collector - we’re going to review that in a future video. And agreed, customer service is awesome 👏🏼
@@garagedwellersww - I had a similar setup with a jet dc. This was great for collecting chips from the jointer/planer without clogging the filter, but it wasn't good with tablesaw or bandsaw dust or keeping the air clean.
My shop is kept clean by a full Oneida setup that I did many years ago. It is consistently a fabulously effective system. I have a3 HP motor system and Nordfab piping. One thing I wish I knew more about: "What kind of air blower is required to effectively clean the HEPA final filter? I only have a very small air compressor so that is not effective. Is there an alternative hand held blower that would effectively clean the final filter? Congratulations on your marvelous shop.
Dealing with space issue but I do have room to add covered shelter on outside of the house. The runs wouldn’t be much longer
A covered space outside would be great. Especially if you could still have the dust sentry light inside!
I've always wished that I had done that. I would now have more usable space inside the shop. Also, on my Oneida with long final filter, an outside unit would not require a final filter because I live in a farming area where the small amount of dust that escapes the cyclone separator would be very minor compared to the dust generated by farming operations: plowing, planting, harvesting, etc. The shop would also be quieter and that is good for health.
Want about your quality of dust filter , is it hepa filter qualified ?
Yep, it is a HEPA filter, MERV rating is 16, E12 filtration efficiency rating. very high efficiency.
because my granddaughter has expressed interest and wants to learn so I want to make it as very safe as I can, So a Saw Stop replaces my old 10" Delta, a sanding table , and so on but most important is a top flight dust collection system.
This video helps a lot thanks.
Glad it was helpful - thanks for watching!
Nice. I'm leaning towards a Supercell myself. Just curious...do you use any kind of separate air filtration system to filter your workshop air in and of itself? If so, would love to know what you're using. Thanks!
Thanks for watching - Supercell is a great choice for sure. I do have a Jet overhead air filtration system. My brother has the powermatic one. Less maintenance with that, but much more pricey. I ran a Wen overhead air filter for awhile too, but that caused me trouble and broke down within a year. The Jet is a great price point and works like a charm.
Thanks for this review. I'm a scientist and have worked on inhalation projects. I am suitably worried about wood dust from machines. I am looking at 3 hp V-3000 (torn between the plastic and metallic one) as well and have upgraded the electrical already and have money saved up. Were you able to get Onieda to come down on the prices? If so, how much? I've been asking for 10% discount and free shipping and have met resistance. Not sure how much wiggle room they have on their price.
Glad to hear you’re looking into them! I highly recommend it, it is an awesome dust collector. I did not even try to haggle with pricing. I treated it like buying from any other store, figuring the price is the price.
@@garagedwellersww Thanks for the reply.
Thank you for your perspective from the medical profession. As a lifetime asthmatic, I know dust collection is important, but with so many options, it is hard to sort out the particulars. The size of the shop, the machines attached, the location of the collector are all critical components that come together to make the system either work well, or fail. I don't want to fail. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! I'm a big fan of calling one or a few of these companies and talking with them. Most offer help planning everything about the setup. It's well worth the investment for your health!
Did you look at the Harvey Gyro? Lots of great reviews on it online.
I did. A few reasons why I didn’t go with it:
- Didn’t work layout wise, big wide footprint and the inlet being next to the floor is not what I wanted
- Oneida is an established company made in the USA, and all they do is dust collection. Harvey is a newer company and the dust collector is just one of the many different machines they do.
- I have heard very mixed reviews about Harvey customer service.
- I have had Oneida products before and knew them to be high quality, and again all they do is dust collection.
Thanks for your excellent video. I just received my V3000 and am looking forward to getting it installed and up and running. Like you, I have really impressed with the Oneida customer service (Dan), their design and consultation has been great. I have a 18' x 30' hobby shop and felt that no job was too large or too small for the team at Oneida.
Glad you liked the video - how is the new dust collector doing?
Nice setup. I have a much older Oneida 2HP Commercial that also has a 7" intake and similar specs. The snap lock tubing is a great choice for systems this size. I use snaplock in my system that mainly terminates into Nordfab fittings because I'm connecting primarily to a European combination machine and have to move fittings depending on what my machine is doing (shaper, tablesaw, jointer, planer, horizontal mortiser) or to various sanders when needed
I’ve been really happy with it. Sounds like you’ve got a great setup that works with your machine!
Great video. I just order a V3000
Great choice - it's an awesome unit!
