Perhaps I'm missing something, but aren't you just sucking the dust off of one filter and collecting it on another?

No you're right. But before I vac the filter I shake some of the dust off. Plus not all of the dust goes back to the new filter. Some of it goes into the can. I thought about trying an inline filter on the hose, but this works very well, even if I do get some of the dust on the filter. There is room for improvement here, and maybe someday I'll tinker with it some more.
