I appreciate the heads up. After the mess the last project made I came to the same conclusion.
I grabbed one of those dust cyclone things and plan to make a dust trap for next time.

Ultra fine particles from sanding, especially drywall, can bypass a household vacuum’s filter and eventually fry the motor. Use a small shop vac intended for this type of dust instead.

You could try connecting a vacuum cleaner instead of the dust container.

Depends on your use case. The Hercules is a bit heavier and will probably take longer to vibrate your hand to death, and won’t bog down as easily. And it has the 10’ cord. If you’re using it a lot,...

It's a good sander for solid wood. I use mine daily and love it. I like it because it's powerful and spins well. The only flaw is the dust collection box, they all seem to fall off over time. But...

You should connect it to a shop vac. Will drastically improve the dust extraction and will make sanding faster and sanding disks last longer.

As a sander this thing works great. However it catches almost NONE of the dust. It’s almost comical how little gets in there.
And yes I have my holes aligned.

I was going to say no, but apparently you now can!
Yes, you can use this to wax your car and it will probably look great, it will also take a very long time with a 5" pad though. Make sure you get a...

Nice deal! I have 2 random orbital sanders now and I am going to grab this one.
Make it dedicated for polishing polyurethane.

It might be a bit too fast and could burn the paint. I would use a dedicated buffer. They are reasonably priced.

In for one. I don't need it at the moment, but I never buy a tool when I need it. I buy them when they are on sale, like this one. Thanx OP!
