Right now, cyclone dust collectors are all the rage.
They have
filters for only the very finest of dust, like 1 micron or so. The
rest is fed through a specially shaped chamber that spins the air and
uses centrifugal force to separate out the sawdust. It hits the sides
of the container and falls into a barrel below. They have a version
for shop vacs now. Have a look at this:
I use a "cyclone lid" that I got from Veritas. I use it with my ShopBot
and the lid just sits on top of a 30 gallon garbage can. Works fantastic.
Does require a 4" hose to be used though. I use a 1.5hp Harbor Freight
dust collector with it.
For a shop vac, you can't beat a Fein Turob III. :)
