Using a cyclonic canister vac instead of a shopvac ?

QUESTION:

Using a cyclonic canister vac instead of a shopvac ? It's possible I am now using a Hoover GUV with a separator. It works fine for a while. The only stuff that gets by the separator is the fine dust, and that clogs the filter pretty fast.
I see a 12a househole cyclone vacuum on ebay. I am thinking (hoping) that the fine dust would settle out in the cyclone, so I will have a good system forever. Anyone try this?

ANSWER:

My experience with cyclones is that the heavier stuff drops down into the pre-cannister, so the only thing that gets to the vac IS the finer dust. You're gonna need more filtering, I'm thinkin.
