A Shop Vac, drywall bag, and $20 auto switch can do wonders for a ROS.

If you're really paranoid, you can add a Cleanstream HEPA filter to catch
what escapes the drywall bag.


nods Yup. I use it so seldom, mostly on plywood only, and then only
rarely. I haven't bothered getting the 1" adapter to fit on the sander. Hand
sanding with 220 suffices, but that has a different dust problem. Solid wood
gets planed or scraped. (So, it's fair to say I stopped using it for lack of
a $2 vac adapter. I hate the whine of that shop vac, too.)
