Does it have a side opening for a shop vac?

There's nothing to permanently attach a hose to. Best you can do IMO is rig something.

Dear Ed:This is a very nice, small unit. It does not have an opening for a full sized shop vac, but it does have a 1 3/4 inch opening on the left side. I have found that it just doesn't give out that much dust. I have not ever found it necessary to wear a mask. After any work, a quick pass with my small shop vac picks up all the let over debris. Best,Dan

Yes there is an opening on the left side and I have added a short piece of radiator hose and and a small piece of PVC held in place by 2 hose clamps that is the right size to accept the vacume hose. Works great!

No, it does not have that feature. The vac is simply for rugs and hardwood floor, dust and debris.

Actually, I don't think it would work with a shop vac. I use it on a Kenmore vacuum with what I think is a pretty standard hose attachment.

Yes comes with a hose you hook up to shop vac. It's a must or you will get dust everywhere. Only down fall it is heavy but will do the job quick. I was happy with it

The shop vac will work. You just have to watch the container so it does not fill up.

Yes, there is a utility port on the right hand side to directly connect a vacuum hose. I use it to with my car kit as the unit is mounted in the garage. As far as the inlet/outlet, they must be behind the unit going into the wall, I don't see any outlets except for the utility one.

It would fit a shop vac or any other similar style of vacuum, as long as it had a 1 & 1/14 inch hose. The larger 2+ inch hoses it would not

It does not - I suppose you could say it's more like a shop vac but an amazing upscale one that is! It's so quiet and has the best suction out of any vacuum I've ever owned. Love my Henry!!

Probably not, but you may be able to fabricate something, although that would imo make it something more suited to a shop vac

Yes, including the dust collection stuff (several plastic parts that supposedly attache to the unit and your shop vac) Haven't used those options yet. The tool has very thin blades and is used for minimal sanding such that "dust collection" seems to be a minor concern. Great tool with the quality you'd expect from Germany. Very smooth operation.

It has a reducer on it that looks like it will adapt to almost any shop vac.... but I can't guarantee that it will fit every shop vac... sorry.

Yes. You can buy a separate attachment for around $10. Looks like a funnel with different diameters. Insert one end into the sander and the other into your shop vac.

No!! This one is just a BLOWER. Sorry. But do some more looking. You won't a (blower/VAC) There are several to choose from.Hope this helps!

Cathy, I have searched and tried to find this answer and have failed, but I would suggest going to https://www.shopvac.com/support/support.asp and submitting this question to Shop-Vac and then letting the world know. I am sorry that I only have another direction for you to meander in your search for truth. good luck - Baker

I assume you mean shop-vac, and yes. But there are different shop-vac wand diameters - this one is 1-1/4. Make sure you have that size, or get an adapter.

No you cannot easily connect to a shop vac. The port coming off the sander is too small and the connector to the bag is oddly shaped so you can't even tape a hose to it. You could order a special adaptor from a third party and hope it doesn't fall off. For less money both DeWalt and Milwakee make sanders that easily accept shop vac hoses. There is much less dust when connected to the suction of a vac than used with just a tiny bag for collection.

The bag only opens at one side, just like a very large ziploc bag with a valve on the top side of the bag so you can attach the vacuum hose to it and draw out the air.
