Is there a dust port on this item? Does it get hot when you use it?

There is a small dust port under the cord,and mine came with a hose to connect to a vacuum! Yes it does get warm but not hot when used for a time ! I use mine clamped upside down, mostly !!

This is a fairly small belt sander that's intended for delicate work. It will obviously work on harder woods, but it's primarily designed for use on soft woods, like spruce and balsa. So, you wouldn't really require a dust port...it would make such a small power tool unwieldy and difficult to use if one were even attached. And being small, it doesn't produce anywhere near the power and dust that a full size belt sander would use. Being only 150 watts, it doesn't get all that hot either....more like "warm" during normal use. Any amount of heat generated also depends highly on how long you're using it (the "on" time).

I have not had any problems with it. The main suggestion is to be sure that the unit is pushed to the "off" position before laying it down after you have finished with it. Like anything else, left unattended it could burn someone or something, especially while still hot. Listen for the "hiss"--no sound, it is usually off. When in doubt, remove the thermal unit. It's great not being restricted to using an outlet.

Not HOT, maybe a little warm when it's been plugged in for a while. Sometimes the heat from your computer can transfer over or if it's working too hard it can generate heat. If it's getting really hot then I would see about getting a replacement.

No it does not I used my surface in a training class that lasted 6 hours and I did not have a heating issue

There is a sonicrafter accessory called a "Dust Extraction Adapter", that hooks up to a shop vac. My guess the adapter screws into the holes. The adapter didn't have very good reviews, so I passed on buying one.

I haven't cleaned mine yet but it is dusty, I will use the brush attachment from my vacuum, but the aerosol can used to clean computers also seems like a good idea!

Turbine spins very fast, I hope people don't try to block it as it keeps things within operating temps. Duster already gets quite warm with extended use.Also as of note the fine tool attachment adapter has a 'blow hole'. I wanted to block it at first, but it regulates the pressure out of the tiny nozzle so it doesn't get overloaded. Don't try to block that either, it blows plenty strong without covering it up.

not really anything to keep clean. I use it all the time and have not noticed any dust. the area is not that wide. I bought two for me. one on bedside and one on my desk at work. I gave my mom one, she loves it. even bought the one that plugs into my computer. lol

There are a couple of screws that hold the dust port on one end and a flat plastic plate on the other. Just remove the screws and swap out the port with the plate and screw everything back in place. Should be no problem Cheers, Dean

Like all vacuums, the air that exits the vacuum is typically hot because it passes through the motor assembly which itself is generally hot. However, the air that passes through the vacuum is filtered in several stages so no, it does not blow dirty air out.

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

That will mate directly with the dust port....CON: the belt sandpaper is already separating at the seam, used 6 times CON: the table adjustment mechanism on the disc sander does not keep it in an adjusted location, keeps sloping downward, CON you cannot adjust the belt table dive so that is in a horizontal level position. Overall I would rate this at a 2 out of 5 with 5 the best.

Yes, I don't use the dust port on the Incra fence at all, the clean sweep rings work great for dust collection.

Yes, it does get hot, but there is a fan. Mine has never overheated, but I haven't really put it to the test either.

I have had this board for a year now, I purchased it last year on black friday along with a new cpu, and ram. This year I got a new graphics card, and PSU, when I opened my case I expected alot of dust...I had to actually search for dust in my case, I found none whatsoever on the board, only place I found any dust was on the case under the old psu at that vent, other than that not a spec. While I didn't look under the armor, the board itself was completely dust free. I have 5 120mm fans, 4 of them are pushing air through the case so that it comes out the top, in a scout master cooler tower, I'm sure that helped, but my old board would have a layer of dust after around 6 months.

I haven't had any problems with dust affecting the functionality, but it's black, and it has gloss black parts, so it shows dust. Any dust.
