I have been cutting a lot of wood lately and the dust has to be collected otherwise its all over everything in the shop, as well as breathing the stuff! I ordered one of those cyclone Chinese thingys, I have read where they work well at keeping the filter clean in the shop vac. I would like to hear if someone has experience with one of these??

I saw them originally for 25 bucks or so, I found one for 39 and change delivered on Ebay, made an offer of 30 dollars and they snapped it up right away. Just a heads up if someone needs one, I thought I would try the barganing system, and it worked in this case!

I made a dust shoe from PVC 4" pipe, clamped to the spindle and seems to work well.

I thought coolant was messy but its nothing compared to this fine wood dust, hopefully this thing will keep the filter clean or cleaner in the shop vac for a longer period of time.....
