Hi,  I'm not much of a woodworker but I do create a lot of sawdust that clogs my old Craftsman shopvac's filter much too quickly.  I've been lurking on the site for awhile and finally decided to build a baffle separator.   In one of the posts, I saw a top-mounted shop-vac and really liked the compact setup.  I don't think my version is particularly innovative but wanted to share the simple connection method I made between the baffle lid and bottom of the vacuum canister.  I used a 3" abs threaded fitting so I can remove the vac and use it for occasional wet  duties.  Plus, I think my 30yr old vacuum isn't the best and I'll replace it with a newer vac or a blower setup in the future.   For now, this is working great - really pleased with the performance and always-clean filter element.
Appreciate all the info here on this site and hope this idea is helpful.
