will the dust collection connection on the sander body accept a vacuum hose?

I have not tried that. seems to collect a lots of dust with the attached filter

There is an adapter (part # VAC002) that will adapt the sander to standard vacuum hose sizes (1-1/4" & 1-1/2" hoses).

No! It is just a dust collector. You will need some flex hose and hose clamps to connect it to your tools. You should be able to connect to your sander without any reducers.

There's a small black plastic connector which connects to the square outlet at the back of the sander that mates to this hose. It is available at Amazon; check on the page of your sander model for it. That's where I found mine.

I purchased this item as a gift. But did notice it had a vacuum hose which I assumed was to do just that. Sorry I couldn't really answer your question completely.

Actually there is a vacuum adapter, part # 587843-00 available for this that could slip in, in place of the standard bag it comes with. The part should run about $2.50 or so, I just found it online at www.ereplacementparts.com under the dewalt/b&d; section. It fits a standard vacuum hose like your typical household vac, I think it's smaller than your typical "shop-vac", though I'm aware of adapters for shop vac hoses to down size them and that should work. I use our old hose vac with mine and it works passably well. Any sander is going to throw stuff off no matter what unless you've got a dust table setup.

Sort of. Your electric drywall sander must have a bag or hose connection that could collect the dust. I have used my electric orbital sander many times with Magna. The hose from the Magna and the hose bib connection on my sander don't match up so I just jam the hose and pipe together and tape it up and good to go.

No you cannot easily connect to a shop vac. The port coming off the sander is too small and the connector to the bag is oddly shaped so you can't even tape a hose to it. You could order a special adaptor from a third party and hope it doesn't fall off. For less money both DeWalt and Milwakee make sanders that easily accept shop vac hoses. There is much less dust when connected to the suction of a vac than used with just a tiny bag for collection.

I happened to have a Hyde dustless drywall sander that came with a 1.5" X6' vacuum hose. The hose fits my shop vac on one end. On the saw end I put several wraps of tape so it would snugly fit a 1.5" rubber drain connector. Their usually black flexible rubber about 3 to 4 inches long and have a clamp on each end to snug everything up. Works great for me. When using a 1.5" rigid foam backer to cut on you could use it in your living room and have very little dust if any at all. Very clean!

The exhaust port is 22mm OD. I found the Fein 921072K13 Step Adaptor is a perfect fit to the Makita, and the Bosch VAC005 5-Meter Vacuum Hose 35mm fits perfectly to the Fein and to my Shop Vac. This was a perfect solution with no modifications required to anything. The Bosch hose has a swivel at the tool end and is small and flexible enough to work perfectly with the Makita RO sander.

When you remove the cloth output filter you will see that two different diameter hose connections can be made. One connection has an OD of about 1 inch and the other about 1.5 inches. I did not have a connection that fit either of them. But, I had some 1.25 inch OD/1.0 inch ID clear vinyl hose that made a perfect connection between my small Shop Vac hose and the sander. This vinyl hose can be purchased very cheaply at many hardware stores by the foot. It only took four inches of it to make a solid connection that has never come off during use. If I could I would insert a photo but see no way to do that. Hope this helps. It really is a great RO sander.

The directions day that the dust collection shroud is designed to wrok with DWV9000 connector. I didn't have that piece and wasn't buying it. As to what size hose I used -- the small shop vac hose and duct tape to seal the two together. (A large shop vac hose was too large.

I have not tried it for that but from what I have seen of the dust collection capabilities of the sander, I would say not, it would miss a lot of the dust. Just my opinion.

Yes. You can buy a separate attachment for around $10. Looks like a funnel with different diameters. Insert one end into the sander and the other into your shop vac.

Yes. The bucket and hose set-up is just a water trap for the drywall dust. It keeps the dust from ruining your shopvac or other vacuum source. The dust gets pulld into the water and settles there leaving relatively little dust in the airstream entering the vac.Do be careful, howver, not to kick over the bucket while sanding as it could sent a shot of water up into your vac. Not too big an issue if using a wet/dry vac but more cataqstrophic if not using a water-proof vac.

I used it with a Hoover Upright and the hose attachment. I think it would work with most vacuum cleaner hose attachment accessory.

I don't know. However you can take off the sawdust bag and see if the vac hose will fit. If it fits, or is close use some duct tape or masking tape to make the seal airtight. Obviously, you will lose some flexibility with the sander, but it will be a easier clean-up . If you use the plastic plate with the nubs on it to pierce the sandpaper, the sander does a pretty good job of capturing the dust in the collection bag. I strongly suggest using ear plugs and/or protective headphones when using the sander, especially if using the sander with the vaccum.
