Under my cyclone, I have a 30 gallon blue plastic bin... being a rather small collection tub, I get lost in a task and overfill it more than I'd like to admit. Which in turn stuffs my Wynne cartridge filter (which normally should only see fine dust) with a big blast of saw dust/chips etc.

My process has been to tap the outside of the filter cartridge to shake free as much as possible. Then I hit it from the outside with battery operated Milwaukee "leaf" blower.

Should I be periodically removing the entire cartridge filter and doing "more" (and presumably doing that outside)?

How do you clean your filters?
