    Penn State Tempest S Cyclone

    I am starting my search for a cyclone DC to replace my 3hp Reliant bag type collector. Looked at Oneida, Clearvue, Grizzly, Shop Fox, and Penn State. The 3.5 hp Tempest S from Penn State has some pretty good specs for a reasonable price ($1125.00). Most of the other brands are a bit more...

    Close-up of exterior of modified waste bin. I installed two pairs of these windows at ~70% full and ~90% Full. By installing a pair of windows at each level you can use a flashlight to visually detect levels well below either window.

    General overview of bin-full window modification. Notice the two pairs of windows, providing not only obvious indication at ~70% and ~90% Full, but also allowing the use of a flashlight to view bin status at much lower limits as well.
