Like most shop workers I have gone down the road on shop vac.systems.
I now use the Sears 20gal. and the Grizzly 2bag 4" hose vac. system,I use the Sears most of the time because it's quick and easy to plug in the router table and alike BUT my best system is my gas power hand blower, I just fire that sucker up and open the garage door and blow it out the door,dirt to dirt and dust to dust thing and I'm done in about 2mins.and the shop is clean so to speak.
Most shop vac.just don't get it all in the bag or can, I tried one of the Cyclone lids and it's just one more item that takes up room in the shop but now it hangs on the wall.
The Grizzly system has a screen that stop big items from getting into the blower fan and if I get a big item stuck in the system I just turn it off and take it out and then just turn it back on again.
I did find out that if you don't have a good vac.system on a planer you will wipe out blades because they go around and around and chip/nick the blades.
