Oneida Super Dust deputy for the Festool CT-22

I read up on the hazards of not having dust collection in wood shops and decided I needed some.
I have had some problems with holes in the dust bag in the Festool CT-22 causing clogged HEPPA Filter cartridges. so I thoght this might help.
I've been really tickled with the effectiveness of the "e;cone" (kind of a compressed cyclone) in my big Jet DC-1100.
I will test this by cleaning out the CT-22 and the Dust Deputy's chip box then sucking up a log of saw dust with different size chips.
One observation, I can't really use the Festool tool container on top of the CT-22 since the Dust Deputy locks on top of it, I'd have to unlock and remove the Dust Deputy to get or return an implement!!!
I'll test this by cleaning the CT-22 and the Dust Deputy's chip box (bag) then dump lots of sawdust and wood chips into the hose.
After which I'll see where the dips / dust go!
Well I tested it and it didn't do much!
After using it for a month there just wasn't much in the Oneida's chip collection box.
I did all my usual things, like sanding, using the Festool jig saw, and just vacuuming up the workbench.
The vacuum worked as always but there wasn't more than a handful of chips in the Oneida box.
I removed it from the CT22 and its in the attic!!!
