John,
as I said to Bob - very much appreciated and in this case, I am expecting to need plenty of help. I will be moving into the premises early December, so I expect it will be next year before I get serious about setting it all up. This has been my 'understanding phase' and this forum has been very informative.
cheers
Mick
PS for BobL - thanks for all of the information. I have also spent alot of time looking at other threads and other articles (Bill Pentz for instance) so am in a much better position to make a good choice.

If John thinks he is biased because he has a ClearVue cyclone i must be mega biased as I liked them so much I became the Aussie distributor.
I bow to BobL's knowledge on all things technical. One day when I get the time I want to make a video of an Australian installation. However do not fear there is plenty of help out there if you need it.
When we talk about exhausting the cyclone outside if we are talking about a clearvue the volume of dust remaining is so small it is almost impossible to see. One issue you must allow for is that if you move large volumes of air you will create noise. In most cases you need to provide some type of soundproofing and muffling arrangement.
I am hoping that in the near future I will be able to supply a muffler as a standard accessory. They are not much used in the States since most woodworkers there want to save on heat loss so they use filters which have a natural muffling effect.
Keep asking questions. I think most forumites love answering questions and sometimes a new viewpoint on an issue causes us to rethink and come up with something useful.

The volume of dust that exhausts from a cyclone is indeed small, but more specifically it's the particle sizes (or volumes) that are exhausted that are so small that makes them impossible to be seen with the human eye. If that same small volume consisted of large particles it might be visible to some people. If a lot of fine dust is being generated (eg sanding) more invisible dust will also be exhausted and if the air outside in the exhausted area is still for an extended period some settling and clumping of the invisible dust may occur and render the dust visible.
It would be interesting to know the actual dust particle distribution of the exhausted air from a Cleavue.

Clearvue install in WA.
Bob,
We have the Clearvue up and running, still need to connect 6" ducting to machines, but you can now test dust levels in the system exhaust.
See this thread BMS Clearvue installation
Contact me by PM to arrange day.
Regards.Arie.
