Take a look at the "CleanStream" filters available for your vacuum.

Thanks Jack
That's a good suggestion. So good, in fact that I've already done it
:-)
However it hasn't helped. I will excerpt what I wrote to brent:
I think that the dust is by passing the filters by taking a different route, or it got
through the original 4 levels of Craftsman filters & is now in the motor & putting
out the burnt dust. I have now installed a Gore HEPA filter & it is still putting out
dust. If I use this same Gore filter in a 6 Gal Shop Vac that I 'rescued' &
carefully cleaned up, from a dumpster, it doesn't put out as much dust.
When I said
a Gore HEPA filter
I meant the
CLEARSTREAM filter
I just couldn't remember the CLEARSTREAM name & I knew it said GORE
on the box.
I believe that the CLEARSTREAM filter is capable of removing most dust
to a point that it won't bother me.
But as I said, my theory is that the dust is in the motor from previous
usage.
The thing is that I've babied & cleaned the big vac ridiculously. I've
always followed the manual.
There is no reason I can think of why it's doing this.
I have thought of putting rubbing alcohol into it w/o any filtration, &
do one of the non recommended things
in the Owners Manual to cause it to mist.
Perhaps enough of that would clean it out or ruin it :-/ John
