I'm tired of the sawdust induced filter in my shop vac and decided it's

suggestions for a filter or easy plans for a cyclone separator?

If you want something reasonably priced that works with a shop vac,

If you really want to roll your own,

I use a Dust Deputy:

I bought a 5 gallon bucket from my local Grainger store. They carry a model
that is thicker than the Home Depot/Lowes buckets. My Ridgid vac could
crush the Depot/Lowes buckets.

Not a spec of saw dust ends up in the vac.
