I have an ash cleaner it is bagless but the filter cloggs up far too quickly
and so needs cleaning t 2 or 3 times each use.
I had some success with a hoover bag but these are smaller bore fitting than
the machine. Is ther a bag that fits over a 60mm stub?

So you want to convert a bagless cleaner to a bagged one. If its a cyclone
you are wasting your time, if not then maybe.

The filter in a Cyclone seems to always need cleaning or changing unless
its one of the more recent Dyson models.
I have a theory that this is a bi product of the cyclone action, ie the
spinning. However if you remove the filter that stops the left over much
from coming out its not going to stop it and if you attempt a bag, it simply
slows it down and the much clogs up the cleaner ahead of the bag.
Get a Henry if you want a bagged cleaner.

Stop messing about and get one that does the job correctly in the
first place, I purchased one of those sold by lidl and found it was
useless at containing fine ash and was just a powered method of
distributing it around the room so that quickly went to the tip and so
sought something better.

Purchased one of these

Very pleased with it , first filter is a gauze that traps coarse bits
that might still be hot , second is a cloth filter that captures the
fine stuff, third filter a pleated paper near the air outlet.
I have put a white cloth over the outlet while vacuuming coal ash and
no mark was discernable on the cloth.
Hose is reinforced with some metal sections so won't instantly melt if
a still glowing ember gets sucked up .
Works well on plaster dust as well.

Note that the site and others also list list one of the same make that
is cheaper, that is a model that only has one chamber and two stage
filtration rather than three. No idea on how that performs.
