Question

Is there a dust collection system or 'dust collection skirt' for the PERIMETER of a random orbital sander? Note: in place of the usual dust bag, I already use a shop vac vacuum cleaner which sucks up dust through the holes in the sanding pad. The vacuum attachment I am looking for for the PERIMETER of the sanding pad is to capture the dust that escapes the PERIMETER area which makes it impossible to sand in a truly dust free manner. Thanks, Sandt

Answer 1

There is a line of tools out now called FESTOOL. They provide an almost complete dust free environment. A bit on the pricey side. But some of the best out there. You can search the tool name or there's an outfit called WOODCRAFT that carries them. Someone also makes a sanding table. It is a box, basicly, that has holes in it and the dust falls into it and the vaccuum sucks it out of there. Don't know if they work or not though. Good Luck.

Answer 2

Yes there are dust shrouds that are made for this. I have seen them range in size I use them for my 8 in angle grinder when I grind concrete.
