Thanks for the video. I bought a Sears shop vac many years ago and it was not equipped with a bag. Just got a ShopVac with bag and upgraded the filter. If I ever win the lottery, I'll upgrade to a Norm Abrams setup. In the meantime, the Shop-Vac serves me fine. Thanks again.
If you want to control dust, the first thing you don't do is buy a cheap Shop Vacuum. They are not recommended and not designed to collect and capture dust particles. Check out the Pulse Bac video on Youtube, This is the leading dust vacuum for the concrete industry, a industry that is required to elimiate dust and the cancer causing agents associated in that dust. Wood dust is even worse on your health, a shop vacuum or a good health insurance. U pick it.
That Pulse Bac is an interesting vacuum, but I don't need financing to get a $90 shop vac with a $6 bag and a $30 filter that meets HEPA standards collects 99.97% of all particles at 0.3 microns. The bag keeps it from getting clogged and makes emptying a breeze. I admit it's not an industrial vacuum and would probably not last if I ran it full time. But for a hobby shop you can't beat it.
Everyone uses a filter, but really the bag is where it's at, good point :)
