Spend the money ($1300) now rather than on filters later. the filter system is great. spring loaded, teflon filters. Dump the Home Depot and Lowe's shop vacs and spend the money on a good small vac. There are a couple good small vacs out there. The initial cost may scare but it will pay off down the road and the guys doing the hand grinding will ove not having to bang out shop vac filters every 20 minutes.

I do industrial coatings and have been using them for about 3 years now and the original one is still going. They are expensive but sometimes we have to hand grind for 3 days in a row at 12-16 hours a day. They will never blow dust out either even when full. do not try any other one until you get this one, trust me weare hard on vacuums.
