I use a simple trash can separator lid and my shop vac. works much
better than the vac alone.

A year or so ago one could buy the AP400 Delta ShopMaster dust collector at
Lowes for about $170. It is now discontinued but some browsing might locate
one. Maybe eBay/CraigsList too.

It is supposed to be 650CFM, doubt it is but is entirely adeguate for the
way I use it which is pretty much the same as you except I also use it
(mainly) for a 16" drum sander pickup.
