good source for cheaper RIDGID vac filters?

[dwcopple]

Amazon and eBay seem to have some fair offerings. Is there a hidden gem out there somewhere?

A very good question

I buy no name Shop-Vac bags off eBay. No issues. Seem to perform the same as OEM.

Put a cheap vacuum bag over the filter and they last forever.

I would like to know too!

The same filter is used on Craftsman vacuums, I have in the past found those on sale.

I would really like a washable/re-usable filter .

would be nice huh? I'm still looking. But I need one badly. I trashed my last filter and have been running without one. Yesterday the wife grabbed it to vacuum some drywall sanding dust and clouded up the entire basement

ETA:

I just ordered this one for $13.60 shipped. It also comes with a new nut!

Clean stream filters are wash and reuse. I use one in my rigid vac.
