Ok here’s the deal, with the acquisition of a couple new larger tools it has become an imperative that I rearrange the shop. So with this I have taken some time (Like the last 4 weekends) to work on the shop and rearrange everything. As I do this I am also cleaning up years of sawdust from those hidden places (ok so maybe from some not so hidden places also!) In any case I have a vacuum mounted on the wall that I use for bench tops and tools surfaces and of course a broom. I decided that all this was not very efficient so I purchased a larger shop-vac with a 2-1/2” hose. Now I know from Rod’s pictures that he uses vacuums and I also know (everybody knows) that he is the MDF king and MDF makes a lot of small dust particles. So with all that and to make a long story short (if that’s possible with me) I have been using the vacuum to clean. Well I have found that I can use it until I reach about a quarter full in the container when the filter completely clogs up with dust. Then I have to stop and clean it before I can continue on. So the question is for you vacuum guys, what do you do about this? Is there some filter cover or something I should be using? Got to be a better way so I am asking before I go do a bunch of research and trial and error.
