What are you using for dust collection on this? I'm looking for a dust extractor that won't break the bank.

I purchase the Ridgid shop vac with associated fine particle bag and they seem to work great. Possibly spent less than $ 100 (sale item Home Depot). After using a few times have not considered purchasing any other dust collection system; as this combination works for my needs.

I am using the Fein Turbo II with 1 micron filter and bag and the Dust Right Cyclone seperator. this setup is a little pricey but I promise you that tou will empty the seperator many, many times before you need to change the bag and the fine very quiet compared to other shop vacs. the on board receptacle with auto on/off for your tools is great and the the adjustable motor speed makes it perfect for use with an orbital sander (won't draw the sander down too tightly). I have been using it for a year now for tool attachment and general shop/home/car clean-up and have no complaints. like i said, it's a bit pricey for this setup but worth every cent.

I use a Festool CT 36. Works well. Broke the bank. Look for HEPA filtration.

I got mine for $ 450. but it was worth it. It is very accurate and has almost complete dust collection when you use it with a good shop vac. I have used it in furnished living rooms.

I simply vacuum over the intake and it gets the dust out well. Then Windex and a cloth around the fan ring. I do the every week or so. They're great.

I've been testing my new Botvac80 the past couple days. On the first few cleaning runs the dust bin fills up and I have to take it out and clean it (very quick and easy) plus clean the filter and possibly the brush (takes 5min or less) Shouldn't be expensive to maintain if the filter lasts several months with regular cleaning, but only time will tell. Right now extra filters are not in stock and it might be quite sometime before the price comes down on them too. Hopefully the brush and battery will last a long time too and not need expensive replacement, but that too only time will tell.

I have a rigid shop vac. I use it to vac the dust from my work piece and keep my sander clean as I work the wood.

I have a standard dust collection system, readily attaches to saw, it then hooks to my vacuum system and it works well, as does the saw. You will need the adaptor which has a 4 inch and a 2 inch connection, I utilize the 2 inch as that is the size of my vacuum hose. It keeps the saw dust vacuumed up well.

yes it does pick up dust pretty good but they sell others that has a brush like a vacuum cleaner besides the two round ones in the front that I assume will pick up really good so if you do some more research you'll see those I wish I could have bought one of those instead I really think that would have been a better buy

the dust collector does remove. with the proper coupling, it should work just fine

I used to use the Swiffer dusters. Just could not stomach the cost of them anymore. I think this one picks up dust better and has a larger surface area so you can clean more area at a time. It is also very flexible. You can bend the rod that runs down the center at any point (1/4, 1/2) to get into tight spaces like behind books on bookshelves.

I still use my eureka. The handle broke off right away but it mechanically still runs great and with lots of power. It's a messy ordeal emptying the dirt cup. I always do that outside. It was a cheap vacuum, so even tho its got little issues, Istill am amazed at how much dirt it pulls out of my carpet.

I have extensive experience with this sander and the dust bag is virtually useless. It does catch some dust no doubt but hooking it up to a shop vac could help but it would surely diminish the mobility of the sander while using it. I use a respirator always when sanding and I place a sturdy powerful fan directly behind me to help disperse dust away from the sanding project always!! Hope this helps you!Best regards Bo

That would suck! Actually, I think a vacuum could be attached in place of the dust collection bag. That would keep things nice an clean. It might be a bit awkward having a hose connected to the sander.

I believe the issue with ESD is if there's a possibility of close contact with the part and the device. As long as you don't touch the nozzles to the part, you should be fine. The duster is plenty powerful with the narrow nozzle attachment to use sufficiently far a way.

I bought for my son. He has a dust collector. He absolutely loves the saw though & says it works great.

Gosh, I should ask you where you find the dust bags when you do. I haven't even taken mine out of the box yet. Glad you said it works great and sorry I am not much help.

I designed a dust collector from sheet metal. I attached my shop vac up to it and it works very well. The only thing, is you can't take alot off at once. It will clog up the vac hose.

I simply detach my dust bag and attach my shop vac to that port and it seems to get a lot of the dust but not totally. I have only used y smaller shop vac not my big one but I'm sure it will pull in the dust
