Why is there poor dust pick-up at tools with my Oneida Air Systems Dust Collector?
- GGregg AndersonJul 28, 2025
Poor dust pick-up at your tools when using the Oneida Air Systems Dust Collector can be due to improper motor rotation (running backwards reduces suction by 30%). Also check the length of duct runs, duct diameters, and hood design compared to ductwork design guidance. Make sure all connections to the system are sealed, even small cracks in the ductwork. Use silicone, duct tape, or duct mastic compound as a sealant. Check for air leaks between the collector and dust drum, and ensure that your filter is clean.
