I have had a 3hp clear view for 10 years I think but it was noisy and for some reason the finest dust would go past it and into the filters. so I had some bag filters I had made because the cartridge would clog so fast. I needed the room and the onida was sp quiet that I bit the bullet and got the 3hp. Man the difference is huge so quit around 84db where I sit I don't know how much of that is the moving air through the pipes and such.
but this thing moves so much more air. I would say maybe double the air. even with the Cnc port open I have more air anywhere in my setup then I did with just that one open by quite a bit. I router table was wanting to suck the part down while I was trying to round it over and that was with the Cnc going. I had to add some more leg extension as my pipe was so high and I wanted to use a wheeled dolly that had decent sized wheels.
