Ok, so I did a temporary hook up to my old shop vac with the oneida dust deputy to see how it really works. I cleaned out the vacuum tub and put in a new filter. I used about a half a cup of sawdust,sand and flour(didn't have any sheetrock dust.) After vacuuming I checked the vac tub and filter and there was nothing visible inside. It was all in the dust deputy bucket, just like shown in the amazon video link that Old Goat provided. One negative aspect was while vacuuming it produced some static on the hose which could be a problem if your vacuum has onboard electronics. Grounding the DD unit and using anti static hoses or grounding the hoses to should eliminate the static.
