I have a Thein Separator attached to my CNC Router. Amazingly efficient Dust & Chip collection which I back up with a standard Filter Bag attached to the Exhaust. This Bag collects the 'Fines' which get through the Thein Separator. The Filter Bag only needs cleaning out every year or so, compared to the Separator which needs Monthly emptying.

I'll have to look into the Thein separator some more.  Thanks Matthew!

I used it a bunch today and it works great.  Well worth the time on that project!
