I just meant an actual "designed to be a cyclone, cyclone". Mine is a Grizzly G0440 (apparently only available in HEPA now(?). It is satisfactory but, always wanting more. I buckled under the pressure of where I could make it fit and so went 2HP instead of 3HP. I have always regretted it BUT, the 2HP does a "good" job and I'm glad to have it.

I started using the regular Dust Deputy last week, just hooked up to my shop vac. I installed it on a 5-Gal bucket and have emptied it twice so far. I've used with my miter saw, table saw, palm sander, pocket hole jig, and planer. The bucket is a cinch to empty and practically nothing gets to the vac so I'm very happy with it.

The DD is a very good product, but take care because the plastic it's made of does not stand up well to harsh impacts.

That seems like a good plan. But please get some 1 micron bags too. They are not expensive. A pleated filter is better (I've used stock Delta bags, shaker felt bags and a Wynn pleated filter on my 1hp Delta). The Gray house studios HF upgrade uses a filter that looks pretty good and was significantly less expensive than the Wynn last time I looked. I think the Gray house studios filter is about $100, the Wynn varies a bit but is closer to $200 and a shaker felt bag should be less than $50.
