I've purchased a Dewalt D21580K dedicated dry diamond drill.


The manual insists on using the DeWALT D215804 Dust Collection Device when dry drilling.

DeWALT D215804 Dust collection device to suit Diamond Drills D21580K & D21582K [D215804]

I will try without it, but is it that important? I really do not understand how it can collect much dust being so far from the actual cutting.

Would the end of a vacuum cleaner placed by the hole be any better?

Also, the manual insists on using a stand for dry drilling above 100mm.

Would it be really needed for drilling 127mm holes in breeze block and perhaps in masonry?

Kind regards,


Antonio
