I use a cyclone dust collector before the shop-vac. That way very very little sawdust gets to the shop-vac and any filter will work.
This is the way! I made a diy one that works well for my dust collector.
Yep! The way to go. I actually had the chance to measure my combination towards fine particles as a friend is working in that field.
The combination of a M-class (Festool) shopvac and a cyclone actually produces significantly less (as in 1/100) particles in the air compared to various other options,even when M class.
And of course it is far cheaper as the filter and bags are fucking expensive but the barrel is reusable.
