Got this grizzly unit tonight for $45 at the local monthly consignment auction. I know it's not the best ordeal in the world, but it's better than blowing it on the driveway from the planer.

wow, good deal! Saves a lot of mess. I bought a planer one day, dust collector the next.
Lest everyone forget, the proper response to a gloat is "You suck!" So, to Steve: That is indeed a gloat. You suck!
they practically gave away a couple dewalt planers last night. The two blade model went for $125 and the three blade like i have went for $215. The JET brand dust collector brought $200. I also got a no name tenoning jig for the table saw for $17.50

that'll pass a lot of stuff eh?
Don't berate you deal before you get a chance to use it. I have had it's 2hp brother for a year or two and I am very happy with it. I have had very good luck with Grizzly products. And yes, it cleans up after a planer very well.

It'll stop that planer stuff :o)
I forgot to mention, check out Grizzly for one of the trash can separator lids. It is one of the best $30 you will ever spend. In addition to the by-product of keeping hard stuff away from the blower impeller, you will have to empty the bag about 1/10th the amount of times. And bag changing is fiddly.

Yes, it'll stop everything larger than your fist.
Perhaps you'd like to invest in either a felt bag or a cartridge filter, like an air cleaner on your car/truck.

Yes, i'll be looking to do a two stage thing eventually. Space a little limited right now though.
There are many aftermarket 1 micron filters available. Both bag and paper like filter (polyester spun I think) material.
Penn State, probably Grizzly for the filter bags. You need to replace top and bottom to stop the fine stuff. I would consider just a contractor plastic bag on the bottom, and a very good 1 micron felt filter for the top.
I would build my own seperator... See Thien separator.
Let me second this. I'm surprised how rarely I have to dump the filter bag now. If space is an option, remember you can store metal trash cans outside until needed. Mine sits on top of a cabinet so I don't lose floor space. Quick disconnect fittings and flex lines make hookup simple.
If you're going to use it with your TS or a sander, get the set of 1 micron bags or a cartridge filter as someone else suggested. I have 5 micron bags, and that really is not fine enough to get the hazardous dust. I have a Jet 1 micron filter mounted near the ceiling to help clean up what leaks through the bags or what the DC misses.
Oh, before I forget.. You suck. Congrats on the buy.
that's pretty cool. I suspect the search for an open topped 55 gal drum is in order now.
:)
Not a problem...call these guys.
