I have the same Dust Deputy that Ron has for my sand blast cabinet, and it works excellent. I got it for $20 on Craigslist. I think they're only $40 or $50 brand new from the manufacturer. 95%+ of the dust (even extremely fine powder) ends up in the 5 gal bucket, and not in my shop vac. I don't use a filter in my blast cabinet vac. The vac draws through the Dust Deputy, then through the vac, and the outlet hose goes outside through the back wall of the shop. There is never more than a handful of grit in the shop vac when I check.
I don't really need it for vacuuming up metal chips though. My regular shop vac seems to work pretty well for that.
