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?

However, you set your cyclone up, vent it outside the building into
a
suitable enclosure (I made mine to look like an outhouse). This
way,
you get rid of the dust, which is the whole purpose.


You also get rid of any warm air in the shop right quick.
