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

Yes. Remove the dust bag and push on the shop vac hose. You,ll see the connection for the hose when you remove the dust bag. The dust bag is not very good but bettr than nothing.

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.

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.

There are not enough specifications on line to know. The issue is the diameter of the plastic adaptor tube. If the one from your present dust collector is in good condition, you can put onto new dust collector bag. It is simply held in place by a tie-wrap.

The package came with an adapter for the vacuum attachment. The vacuum fit the adapter and worked well. I had no problems cleaning out both a short horizontal vent at my daughter's house and the tall vertical vent behind my dryer. Didn't use the vacuum attachment in the vertical vent due to space constraints, just stuck the vacuum hose in the catch basin at the bottom of the vent.

Yes u can easily it connect to your shop vac using a reduction collar. Fits my Rigid shop vac no problem. Does a decent job reducing dust when u are using pad sander but using the as i call them "finger" sanders, no so much because there aren't suction holes in them.

Buy the bags online on Amazon. They have packs of 9 for 4 bucks or so, versus buying it at Lowe's 3 for $5. :) I own the vacuum and can vouch that the suction does not work well once the bag is full...

Not that I've noticed. I have used one other vacuum cleaner that is not a Eureka and it has a hard plastic enclosure for the bag. There is no noticeable difference. I don't think this vacuum adds any more dust in the air than is already there.

The best way I found is with a vacuum that has a hose attachment and use the soft brush attachment and that should do a pretty good job.

I cannot answer this question, because at first I used the vac. quite a lot, and then I put it aside for months. I am using it again, but have not changed the bag yet. To be honest with you, I don't know when I will need to. I am hoping 'it' will let me know somehow. I am very happy with the product.

The upper cylinder comes apart and we've used bottle brushes and/or an air compressor outside as the dust is bound to fly. If you have a small hand you could probably reach in there, but the area vacuum cleaner company will do it as well for a fee. Not the most pleasant job, but my husband takes it on as a challenge every few months.

We purchased a brand new one so there would be no chance of dust. This is the one we purchased and it works great. No more doctor's visits and when she was sick, we would use nasal spray to soften it up and then suck them out. Works like a charm. Here is the vac: BISSELL Zing Bagless Canister Vacuum, Caribbean Blue

After dusting, I simply use the vacuum cleaner to "refresh" the duster. Careful to hold it tight or it'll get sucked into the vac

yes - the attachments work on the end of the tubes. Watch out this will lose power when the chamber is full but more importantly when the cloth bag is dusty. When you clean the chamber use a more powerful vac to clean off the cloth filter too. You could rinse it too but that seems like to much each time to me.

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.
