I see it has a good rating, has anyone used this? I clean the filter in the shop vac pretty regularly but still its a pain. I wish I could put in a real dust collection system, so I thought this might be a good compromise.
Thank you in advance.

I've seen this as well, but haven't used it personally- looks good though, and have read on other forums that it performs well. You might want to contact these guys, as they also recondition units and know their stuff. http://www.dustraction.co.uk/dust-extraction

I've been using the Vortex for about a month now and am very happy with it. The translucent bucket makes it easy to see when it is full. And since the shop vac filter stays clean, it doesn't loose suction.
Have you looked at the dust deputy?
I just bought the dust deputy and like it better.
Didn't have the rockler product but one that was similar, and it isn't a true cyclonic seperator.
Mine works like a champ
I haven't made the leap to a full-shop cyclone system - my wife tells me we have better things to spend her money on...
I've been using the vortex for about 6 months, hooked up to everything from my Makita 12" planer to my 6" RO sander. I used to have to beat my shop-vac filter against the fence post to get the fine packed dust out. I haven't had to clean it yet since I put the Vortex on.
My wife says the same thing.
