I'm using this filter in my wall hung shop vac.Because this vac is used to collect sawdust from my small band saw and belt sander, it clogs fairly quickly, but the system works well and is very compact. Over the past eight years or so that the vac has been used this way, I found that by using a piece of 1/4-20 allthread, a few nuts and washers I could fit two filters together into my shop vacuum. This provided a 100% increase in filtering and lets me extend the time between service cleaning the vacuum tank and filters. I order the filter four at a time which gets me free shipping from Amazon, so this works out to be a pretty good deal. Four filters will last me three years or more depending on use.

As the title says, filter only.. don't throw away that base piece quite yet. Little disappointed that the picture is not honest. Sears routinely runs a by one, get one 50% off and the price is the same.. 8 bucks and they include the base.

I still buy it from Amazon for the convience.

I use this filter with all my dry vacuuming. I use it with a filter bag for drywall and orbital sander dust. Otherwise, it would clog more easily than I have patience for. If it gets clogged when vacuuming coarser material, you can just take it out and knock/scrape the debris off. When I use only the foam sleeve, fine dust gets blown into the air and settles on the stuff in my garage.

Product descriptions on amazon.com can be a bit sparse sometimes, but it was fairly easy to find the filter I wanted because the product number matches the one on the ShopVac website. It would have given me some peace of mind if either amazon.com or ShopVac identified this filter as "Type AA", which one would assume was the model number based on its prominence on the packaging.
