Only way to get quality dust collection is use quality dust collectors. Buying a HF collector will work, but you get what you pay for. Although with all the reports on this collector it seems to be a pretty good deal for the money.
A separator is a great idea, keep the fines out of the filters. That keeps the airflow in the system, and airflow is key to good dust collection.
Next thing is to duct all of your machines. In a mobile shop that can be difficult. But to have to attach the collection everytime you want to use the machine means you are going to have dust, because you aren't going to do it everytime. How do I know this? Because I have mine permanently ducted and sometimes I get to lazy to push the button to turn on the DC.
