Default Using a canister vac instead of a shopvac?

I am now using a Hoover GUV with a separator. It works fine for a while.
The only stuff that gets by the separator is the fine dust, and that clogs
the filter pretty fast.

I see a 12a househole cyclone vacuum on ebay. I am thinking (hoping) that
the fine dust would settle out in the cyclone, so I will have a good system
forever. Anyone try this?


My experience with cyclones is that the heavier stuff drops down into
the pre-cannister, so the only thing that gets to the vac IS the finer
dust. You're gonna need more filtering, I'm thinkin.
