I currently am using a shop vac with a Thien baffle that I am quite pleased with.  I was going to upgrade to the HF DC and make an TopHat with an internal Thien baffle.  But alas craigslist presented me with a UFO102B for the same price that has a bigger 3HP motor and two collection bags.

The first bag holder will be used as the primary Thien baffle/TopHat.  The second bag holder will hold a pair of stacked torit filters found off of ebay and the secondary collection bag.

Thinking about it, if I am converting the one bag holder into a baffle, why not convert both bag holders into baffles?  In theory this should preserve the filters more by separating the fines into fines and now finers.  I am not sure of the following however:

1.  Will the CFM/Pressure/Suction be diminished by the secondary baffle?
2.  Will the secondary baffle need to be rotated, inverted, and/or the inverse of the primary baffle?

Any thoughts the practicality of this?
