For owners of Woodsucker cyclones...
When you're replacing the bag around the filter, it seems to take about five hands -- several to hold the bag, and two to tighten the hose clamp. Woodsucker suggests little bits of tape to hold the bag, but those generally don't stick to the dust-covered surfaces. A better solution is rare-earth magnets -- those little dime-sized magnets you can get in most woodworking catalogs. They work like a champ, and hold the bag to the steel despite the dust.
