which is a better dust collection setup

[ShawnRussell]

I have decided to go with the CT 36. Which is a better setup for dust collection, ease of disposal, and long term pricing:
1. Long life filter bag at $215
2. Regular filter bag at $40 + Dust Deputy Deluxe $149 / Oneida Ultimate Dust Deputy $199 / Clear Vue Mini $149

My initial thoughts are regular bag with Clear Vue Mini. The pricing is below the long life bag, Mini is easy to empty(though I would have liked the mini attached to a systainer), and would collect more chips resulting in less use of the filter bag. The only two downsides is this setup will take up more space and I lose some mobility.

Thanks

If you are planning to move the setup around a lot or to travel with it you could go with a smaller vac and one of the cyclones. I have the 36 and it is large, more of a in the shop machine.

I am ordering one vacuum now, the CT36 for the shop. That vacuum will not leave the workshop.

Down the road we will get a CT mini/midi for the house and I will use that if I need to travel with the tools.

What about going with the 36 auto clean? No bags.
