Just use a regular shop vac with a good pleated filter. I tried cutting some fiber cement on my tablesaw using a 1HP Delta dust collector. Months later, the filter bag still sends out a puff of cement dust into the room whenever I turn it on.

I've thought about connfiguring it to gather drywall dust while I'm doiing the finishing. Concerned about whether it would be suitable for this work (clogging, fire hazards, etc.)

Has anyone used their DC for drywall work... if so, your recommendations.
