No, not with common hand tools. Due to the pipe's heavy gauge and reinforced spiral beading, the pipe can only be crimped with a motorized press. It is much simpler to use Oneida Air Systems' spiral pipe adapters to couple spiral pipe components together.

Due to the 2018 Supreme Court ruling in the case of South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., Oneida Air Systems now collects and remits sales tax for and to all states that require it based on their individual thresholds and jurisdictions. A detailed tax estimate is provided in the shopping cart once the shipping address has been entered. Our Service Dept. will contact you if adjustments need to be made. If a business is tax exempt, Oneida Air Systems is required to have a current copy of the tax exempt certificate on file.

Yes. All of our cyclone separators are designed to be used in conjunction with an air filter as they are only meant to remove the majority of dust and debris - not all of it. Eliminating the filter entirely would allow small, harmful dust back into your shop's air.The exception to this rule is if you have the means to vent your waste air outside of the shop. If you pursue that method be sure to consider the loss of conditioned/heated air, local safety codes, and whether your neighbors will be affected by dust laden air.

Our system virtually makes the need for your hanging air cleaner obsolete. By using your single stage collector hooked up to the 4" Super Dust Deputy you will get the best dust collection, right at the source!

Yes! Both our molded and steel Dust Deputy Cyclones use the same patented design to pre-separate dust and debris, protecting your vacuum filter from clogs and suction loss. The only difference between the cyclones is their durability. Steel cyclones are ideal for industrial applications with abrasive materials such as blasting sodas, glass beads, silica dust, etc.

Contents include the Universal Base Plate (side A & B combine), the Dust Dome (which encloses the bit), the Hose Connect Nozzle (w/ quick release lock), the Deep Chip Cover (for larger router bits), and the Shallow Chip Cover (for minimal space beneath the router). A basic instruction sheet is also provided.

A lot of customers use PVC pipe, but we don't recommend using it. We would instead recommend using our spiral ductwork since it's pretty substantial. However, it has to be coated so that it will be rust proof.

In short, no. The steel cyclone has a powder-coat finish, ensuring that it's durable and rust resistant, but if you expect to have your cyclone exposed to water on a regular basis (e.g. exposed to harsh weather, submerged in water, etc.) we recommend you find additional covering to prevent corrosion over time.

No, not at this time. The Router Hood is molded from high clarity, industrial plastics to maximize visibility both above and below the router bit.

All of our Canadian distributors can be found at oneida-air.com/international. Combined, they offer nearly all of our product catalog (excluding ductwork components).
