Default Cyclone-style Dust Collectors.

This guy has been selling a version for a few years
now. The pictures show a typical setup similar to your
needs:

What machine is creating that much dust in an hour ?

Better than the old bag. A bag is good for 1 hour.... I really need to
do something.
I figure that if I were to upgrade to a double canister 3-4 HP set-up,
all it would do would buy a little time between dumping.

So, I'm told that a cyclone is the way to go. What do we know about
those things?
