AIRFLOW
1354 -- Manufacturer claims approximately 1250 CFM @ 2.5"
1349 @ 2.3" SP with Filter - 1422 CFM @ 2.3" SP without Filter
Accurate test with and without filter, OAS test data matched AWW independent test results 100%. AWW test results for Oneida was 1400 CFM @ 2" SP
AWW Test results for Competitor was approximately 1250 CFM @ 2.5" SP much lower than manufacturer claims. SOURCE: American Woodworker Test Results - January 2006 pg. 87
SOUND LEVEL
75-76 dBA - (Manufacturer Claimed)
78-79 dBA @ 10' - Distance from sound source greatly affects decibel rating.
Oneida tested the Competitor at 84 dBA @ 10'. Decibels are measured on a logarithmic scale to the human ear an increase of 10 dBA is twice as loud. The Competitor is nearly twice as loud as advertised. Oneida's impeller is designed for low noise and low pitch. Learn More About Decibel Ratings.
 
MAGNETIC SWITCH
Yes 
Yes 
   
AVAILABLE REMOTE CONTROL

Installing a dust collection system will greatly reduce airborne dust levels in your shop. However, NIOSH recommends that respirators must be worn if the ambient concentration of wood dust exceeds the prescribed exposure limit. If in doubt wear a NIOSH mask.
