According to Bill Pentz, a 5 micron bag has to be so clogged with dust before it will stop the 5 micron dust getting out that you will hardly have any suction.
Do as Midge says and get a filter.Photo Gallery

have been thinking of building a cyclone for some while but don't seem to find the time and will most likely stuff it up anyway !...so the filter is a quick fix, and i am not running much pipe anyway...and it's always mobile ...unlike a cyclone...

You will want to have some kind of separator otherwise your filter will clog up in no time and you will lose suction. If you don't want to make a cyclone, you will get reasonable separation from a 200 litre drum. Do a search for drum separator.

Filters have built-in brushes so they are relatively easy to keep clog-free
Gary Pye has some http://www.gpw.au.com
A separator is the logical next step though.

You won't stop 5u with a cyclone and only a filter will stop 0.5u.
