Anyone ever rent one of these? My wife wants me to sand the floors, but we
are concerned about dust. Is there a way to hook up a shop vac to these to
minimize the dust? I see that they come with a dust bag, but if they're
like my ROS, they're only marginally effective.

Sanding a hardwood floor (like oak) down to bare wood to stain /
refinish is dusty, messy business.

The usual tool is a pretty massive drum sander, you're removing
wood ....you need some horsepower.

followed by a ~16" diameter floor sander.for sanding / screening
before & between finish.

I suggest masking off the uninvolved areas of the house but be
prepared for dust & the need to vacuum walls & baseboards.
