Home vacs and shop vacs are not really dust extraction systems. They will be very good at cleaning up the mess but the filters will not be sufficient to capture the fine dust that is over time has the potential to kill you in pretty painfull and unpleasant ways. You really should be looking for an m-class extraction system the will retain ~ 99.9% of the dust it captures.
For limited storage scenarios festool make one that is the size of a systainer (although I think it may be L-class so will only retain 99% of the dust) and there are several other compact options.
The cyclonic separator will prolong filter life and will help but still won't collect the fine stuff.
It's also worth looking at air cleaners for workshops as a belt and braces approach - even the best extraction system won't capture everything. This is especially true when it comes to router based tools like CNC machines.

Actually, fuck making one, you can buy a pre-made dust cylinder on the cheaps.
Thanks @hugo7, I think I've found my solution.
