Have you looked into building a Cyclonic separator? Take a look at Phil Thien's design http://www.cgallery.com/jpthien/cy.htm

Have you thought of using a dryer vent on the outside of the wall like the ones on most houses today. It has a trap door and are pretty cheep to buy.

Wow, that is an impressive demo. I think I'm going to have to try and find room in my shop for one of these. I guess it has to be a metal trashcan so it doesn't collapse under the vacuum pressure.

Something to consider..... Are the bags on the collector the standard 30 micron (thin) ones?? If you replace them with "felted" 5 micron bags, it will make a huge difference. Cost is about $70 per bag, but your lungs will thank you

I'm guessing you don't heat your shop in the winter, or have neighbors close by.
