I have a Ridgid "5.5" hp shop vac with a HEPA filter that does a good job keeping the dust down. Kinda noisy though, and the HEPA plugs up quickly when using the drum sander . . . I was thinking of buying the Jet 2 micron DC at Woodcraft today (10% sale). While searching the archives here, I see mention of using a paper filter in the shop vac to intercept the fines, thus keeping the HEPA from plugging as quickly. Maybe this is the economical way for me to go??
Question: Where does this paper bag/filter go? Do you fix it to the intake vent inside the shop vac body?
Thanks!
