Does it catch drywall dust?

yes as long as your hooked to a shop vac and keep the filter clean, works good

It does a pretty good job of catching most of the dust with the vacuume attachment but I wouldn't use it with asbestos. I am super happy with this sander and wouldn't do another ceiling without it. Good luck.

When attached to your shop vacuum, it requires an adapter up to the size of your nozzle. Did on mine anyway, I just jerry-rigged something with duct tape, worked great anyway. Very little dust, just noisy with both the sander and vac going is all. The whole thing makes drywall sanding a matter of seconds and minutes versus hours. Truly amazing.

Dust collection works ... Meaning it captures some sawdust .. But let's face it saw dust is very fine and unless you attach a vacuum system most of the fine dust will just blow out

Yes, I use it to dust walls. You do have to keep it somewhat flat to the wall, so it doesn't work as well the hard to reach parts of the wall unless you can maneuver the pole pretty straight up and down. But overall, I'd say it's very good for walls.

I have very little dust in mine. Any dust that can get in will fall out naturally over the course of time.

I only used it on painted drywall. It works well until there's too much moisture on the wall.

As others have pointed out a regular vacuum is not meant to handle the fine dust from drywall sanding. Use a shop vacuum with a drywall dust rated filter. A five gallon bucket with a lid can be made into a type of pre-filter. It uses water in the bucket to trap the dust before it gets to the vacuum. Look on line for instructions to make one.

No, it's a dry vac only. And it doesn't work well for sawdust for more than 5 minutes.

Yes, it has about a two inch dust port to hook to a vacuum or dust collection system.

No it does not. But because it is off the floor, it does not always pull all the dust off the floor. As long as you are mopping from time to time it is a complete vacuum.

It catches pretty good from pets hair to dust. Howevere, it cannot sweep out everything.

It does! Nothing is completely "dust proof" per se, but this cabinet does the job just fine for me. I think it's a steal at the price I paid for it which was under $130 at the time a few weeks ago

No it do not help clean the dust out the air. It just clean the air of smells pet dander and such.

Yes. It circulates the air, and filters it, so it would help with some of your dust as well.

Yes, If you intend to capture any of the dust it generates... It will release an initial puff on contact with the surface. After that it's quite impressive for the price! I've used it several times and I'm very happy with the purchase!

I honestly could not tell you. I installed this unit shortly before starting a remodelling project so any dust that it may allow out is negligable at this point.

NO. It does not blow the dust off the cut line - except the natural draft from the rotating blade. C
