I found that my DC _did_ get clogged by fine dust when I was doing a lot

The bag looks like one for an upright vacuum which is why I asked. Shop
vacs (at least mine and most) have the conical filter which wraps around
the center exhaust. I've never seen a bag for one.

It may be a European thing. Festool vacs use bags too.

My 40+ year old American made, wet or dry ShopVac used bags. I just
brushed them off and used them until they got holes in them. No hepa
crap, no dust, just lots of ear bleeding noise. I finally gave up on
waiting for the damned thing to break, and replaced it with a nice,
quiet Ridged. I'm trying to throw away the ShopVac, but have trouble
throwing anything away, particularly if it works.
