I replaced my old mouse with this thing. It does sand wood, but the vacuum port does not fit either of my standard vacuums. The bag collects some dust but the motor cooling fan blows stray dust all over the shop like a hurricane! Had a few loose small items on the bench and some plane shavings etc. and the wind from the motor fan did a nice job of clearing off the bench! So the dust collection feature is nothing but a joke. I'll return this unit and go back to my old mouse thank you very much. Don't waste your time carrying this thing home if you need a dust collecting sander!
