This is probably a silly suggestion, but for not a whole lot more than a good shop vac, you can get a decent dust collector from Grizzly. I bought one years ago after being driven nuts by the screaming shop vac, and haven't looked back since. Extra hosing sent to the floor of the shop with a wide-mouth collector makes a wonderful dustpan too.
